En la novela gráfica Los surcos del azar (2013) del español Paco Roca, se recuperan, a través de una entrevista ficticia con su protagonista, los hechos (históricos) vividos luego de la Guerra Civil Española. Más precisamente, la vida en el exilio y la participación española en la liberación de Francia con la compañía denominada La Nueve. Si bien la instancia testimonial está ficcionalizada, el testigo está basado en un personaje real y la búsqueda de una representación fidedigna de los sucesos marca el desarrollo de la historieta. En este trabajo nos adentraremos en la expresión de la memoria colectiva subterránea que aquí se realiza, ya que el silencio y el olvido sobre dichos acontecimientos son restaurados a través de la instancia testimonial. También, reflexionaremos sobre la elección de este medio artístico a través de la importancia de la oralidad y del pasaje constante del tiempo pasado (lo rememorado) al tiempo presente (el testimonio). Es de nuestro interés observar ambos elementos asociados a las posibilidades propias del cómic. Por último, buscaremos analizar la identidad vedada y contradictoria de la figura del derrotado/entrevistado y la importancia de la atestiguación para la reconstrucción de sí.
