Angola Janga: Uma História de Palmares #[nn]

Angola Janga: Uma História de Palmares is a compelling Brazilian graphic work by Marcelo D'Salete, bringing to life the history of Quilombo dos Palmares — the remarkable free community founded by escaped enslaved people in colonial Brazil. The cover sets a striking tone with its muted teal and black palette, depicting a fortified settlement of sharpened wooden stakes rising above dense jungle foliage, with a spear prominently displayed in the foreground — evoking both resistance and resilience. Published by Veneta in 2017, this is the kind of historically grounded comics storytelling that reminds us just how powerful the medium can be.
