Cape Horn #1

by Christian Perrissin

Overview

The "Land of Fire" is an archipelago off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. As the 19th century comes to a close, it is a vast and desolate land only frequented by gold diggers, English missionaries, Chilean and Argentine military, and the age-old Ona, Alacaluf, and Yamana tribes. In this unique world, where the Andean mountains plunge into the Pacific Ocean, several characters, each burdened by duty or fate, will cross paths and clash, on their journey through Cape Horn.

Editorial Reviews

"Lushly illustrated and the characters are distinct and real, giving this the feel of a Hugo Pratt or Milo Manara adventure comic."

- MentalFloss.com

"A rousing old-school adventure story, with bold men (and one bold woman) making bold choices in a larger-than-life environment... A marvelous comic, and it would make a fine addition to your library.” "
