Synopsis: A STEAMPUNK SPACE OPERA INSPIRED BY VICTORIAN NOVELS – In a fantastic future, Alice Hyde, heir to the famous Dr. Jekyll from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is an intergalactic bounty hunter on a mission to deliver a box to a mysterious client… the Count of Wollstonecraft. What seems like a simple task at first, will demand far more from Miss Hyde than she can (or wants to) give. With strong influences from the sci-fi adventures of Jack Kirby and Alex Raymond, the space operas of the 1970s and 1980s, and steampunk literature, this story blends elements of classic English literature with the distinct Brazilian and thoroughly cearense style of Luís Carlos Sousa (Lâmina Azulada, Arquivos Secretos da Segunda Guerra) along with Rafael Dantas (Mandacaru Vermelho, Fantasma, Lâmina Azulada) inspired drawings and colors. A fast-paced plot filled with action, twists and excitement, this comic aims to revive the adventurous spirit of pulp comics and their connection to classic literature—bringing complete, self-contained stories each installment.
Vol 1. The Havanna’s Anti_Budha: A silent war has been waged for centuries. On one side, the immortals, and on the other, the heirs of a medieval order. But is immortality real or a terrible metaphor for a group that has secretly subjugated humanity for centuries? Amidst the war are our central characters: Tristan, the intentionally inefficient hitman of the immortals, and Venus’ Garden, an immortal who intends to live a love story with a normal guy. But this board has more than just black and white spaces. The pieces don’t always move according to the rules, and a single pawn can change the course of the entire game. A triangle of love, betrayals, and revenge unfolds in the streets of Havana, Amsterdam, São Paulo, and Paris, showing that, in the Never Die Club, living forever can be a heavy burden to bear.
Vol. 2 – The Judas’ Games: The immortal Venus was betrayed, captured, and tortured, but the cycle of twists and turns at the Never Die Club is just beginning. Now accompanied by her former tormentor, Tristan, she must embark on a road trip between Andorra and Morocco, confronting not only her current enemies but also the shadows of her past. Recommended reading for those who enjoy strong characters and engaging plots.”
