- The homonymous comic inspired by the film Irati has been presented today at Koldo Mitxelena Kulturunea. The Irati comic was created many years ago by Juan Luis Landa and Joxean Muñoz in Spanish. Now you can also read it in Basque from the hand of the editorial Erein.
As Muñoz explained in his presentation, “After Paul Urkijo’s film, the universe of Irati has been greatly enriched and those who have seen the film, now with the comic book, you can continue with Irati in another way and with other stories.”
The film director, Paul Urkijo, has also been present in the presentation of the comic book. He comments that he read the first comic book about 15 years old and that he “fell in love with everything.” Urkijo welcomes the publication of the Basque version and invites people to read the comic book.
The comic book synopsis is as follows: Navarre in the 8th century, located between the empires of Abphaz (Muslims) and Charlemagne (Franks). The relationship between Eneko Aritza, the grandson of the first king of Pamplona, and a mysterious film called Irati, passing from Antiquity to the Middle Ages.
