A Serpente Vermelha #[nn]

A striking red-and-black cover sets the tone for this Brazilian graphic novel from Zarabatana Books — a massive crimson serpentine creature sprawls menacingly across the foreground while a small, wide-eyed figure in blue looks on nervously from the upper corner. The bold contrast between the looming beast and the tiny, vulnerable character promises a story built on atmosphere and dread, making A Serpente Vermelha a compelling 2007 addition to Brazil's growing comics scene.
