About this eBook

In the cruel, brutal world of the "maras"— Latin American gangs—violence, suffering, and crime batter flesh and are on display on members' tattooed bodies. Death is the only way out. Initiated into a gang in El Salvador at the age of thirteen, Samuel Santos finds a way to escape a few years later... at an impossibly high price. Now, in Caracas, where he's found some redemption, Samuel must seize his only chance to regain a part of himself—a part that had been ripped from him fourteen years earlier. Will he finally be able to write a new future over the tattoos from his past?

About the author

Born in 1970, Nathalie Sergeef grew up near Waterloo, Belgium. At an early age she was drawn in by comics, first humoristic children's series, followed by more realistic graphic novels. Whatever she was reading, she always appreciated a good adventure. And she knew that she wanted to write. In 2012, she authored "Juarez" (Glénat), illustrated by Corentin Rouge, and "Down Under" (Glénat), illustrated by Fabio Pezzi. After that she wrote "HYVER 1709" (Glénat) in 2015, illustrated by Philippe Xavier, followed by the gritty graphic novel "Vertigo" (Le Lombard, Europe Comics in English) in 2016, illustrated by Ennio Bufi.

After studying sculpture at a fine arts school in Bari (Italy), Ennio Bufi got his start in comics by participating in several collective expositions. He won the Pietro Miccia award at the Torino Comics Festival in 2006, for best realistic comic book, then went to work in animation, participating in various productions as both animator and character designer. Starting in 2010, he illustrated for Edizioni Piemme and Bao Publishing the "Geronimo Stilton" books, followed by the series "Don Camillo" (Renoir Comics). A recent arrival in the world of Franco-Belgian comics, he has worked for Grand Angle and Glénat, as well as Le Lombard, illustrating the gritty graphic novel "Vertigo" alongside Nathalie Sergeef (2016; Europe Comics in English).
