Animal Urbano #9
"Santos y demonios" in Animal Urbano #9 (1998) weaves a chilling narrative thread through the recovered writings of serial killer Ángel Pedro Luraña, whose manuscripts reveal a disturbing fusion of religious fervor and violent ideology. Written by Guillermo Grillo Ciocchini and illustrated by Edu Molina—whose distinctive style anchors both the interior art and cover—the issue deepens the series' exploration of moral decay, juxtaposing Luraña’s fanaticism with Animal Urbano’s origin as a response to trauma. The cover by Edu Molina captures the story’s tense, introspective tone, setting the stage for a confrontation between belief and chaos.
