Cumbe

Marcelo D'Salete's Cumbe (2016–present, BeccoGiallo) is a powerful, standalone graphic novel that reclaims a brutal chapter of Brazilian history. Through stark, expressive black-and-white art, D'Salete chronicles the lives of enslaved Africans in colonial Brazil, centering on acts of resistance and the struggle for freedom. This single, self-contained issue stands as a vital work, bringing a marginalized perspective to the comics medium with unflinching historical gravity.
