The most eloquent explanations... come from the artist himself, in video footage as a white-haired ex-desperado.

Time and time again, Spain is presented as less of a countercultural figure than an edgelord looking to flip the bird at anyone and everyone.

An interesting documentary that looks at an a man at peace who is a conflicted artist. The look inside underground comics takes a backseat to a look at the artist.
