"Parents, love, death and forgiveness, are very fat things to talk about with" little pictures. "And Aitor Saraiba does it because his drawings have the power of synthesis, concrete in a few strokes pure action and emotion. -Paco León "An innocent tells us about his childhood in the eighties. You could say that this innocent is the son of the generation of rogues. He tells his life through a graphic novel, The Legionary's Son, written and drawn in the first person of Aitor Saraiba. It does not only have the value of the drawing. Saraiba treasures the gift of literary narration. His story starts: "I was born in Talavera de la Reina in 1983, on June 1, my father is the same birthday on the same day, for years this is the only thing we have shared. Talavera has many neighborhoods, mine is Patrocinio de San José, and no, it's not the same being from Talavera as being from Patro. " The swings of Aitor's childhood and youth are not driven by his adventurous spirit but by the sentimental and economic disasters of his parents. How art helps you to escape from an uncertain destiny, to come out of the closet and to forgive the tough legionary is something that you plan for throughout this exciting story. With what few words can you tell the complexity of a life that has yet to give much of itself, but that started in the worst way. If those young people of the eighties were lost in the deceitful mythology of the drug that ended the future of many, these now have inherited a present with few glimpses of the future. But there are artists determined to fight against the black destiny. The story of Aitor is great as a novel, and if chance has placed my book in my hands I have to shout this treasure, because the fear that these days we only learn about the editorial novelties of the they already have everything or what they do insubstantial modernillos ".- Elvira Lindo.
