Os Cangaceiros #[nn]

Set against the sun-scorched landscapes of the Brazilian sertão, this 2020 BSV Hannover album plunges readers into the world of the cangaceiros — the outlaws of the title — with a cover by Jordi Bernet that commands immediate attention. Dominating the composition is a fierce, bearded bandit chief whose star-studded leather hat spans the width of the image, while a young man, a woman, and armed riders on horseback fill the surrounding chaos with dust and urgency. Writer Peter Wiechmann and artist Rafael Méndez bring this tale of lawlessness and survival to life in what looks to be a richly atmospheric adventure.
