It is by a legendary Argentinian master artist you were already acquainted with, Enrique Breccia! Since there will be at least 8 books in this collection, we are calling it Enrique Breccia Library and as this is the first collection, it is naturally Vol. 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection contains 4 books:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew World, White Gold, From Ocean to Ocean, and Avrack-The Lord of the Falcons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow let us step back for a moment. So far we have published several works of Enrique Breccia (not to be confused by the other Argentinian legend, Enrique's father, Alberto Breccia, whose collection we delivered to you earlier this year!)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew World - In the year 1492, under the command of Christopher Columbus, four caravels — Pinta, Niña, Santa María, and Intrepid — set sail from the port of Palos to venture into the Atlantic. The mission’s objective is bold and ambitious: to reach the Indies by sailing westward. But why has the official history of this momentous expedition always kept the existence of the fourth ship hidden? Why did the Intrepid never reach the shores of Central America? What became of the sailors on board?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe incredible answer can be discovered in New World, a graphic adventure novel full of fantasy and magic, by the writer Ricardo Barreiro and artist Enrique Breccia. How is that for a description?! When I heard about what the story was about, my heart beat a little faster with an excitement!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Gold - A collection of four independent stories that are part of the extensive and productive collaboration between writer Carlos Trillo and artist Enrique Breccia. It serves as an example of the evolution of their respective styles—narrative and graphic—over the years, as well as their skill in adapting them to different genres such as horror and fantasy. The stories included in this volume are Oro Blanco, Algo que mira, Ejército de Locos, and El Buen Dios. What is a curious fact here, one of the stories here is a pre-cursor to Alvar Mayor!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Ocean to Ocean - On September 25, 1513, the Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa became the first European to sight the Pacific Ocean. Departing from the city of Santa María la Antigua del Darién, which he had founded two years earlier, he crossed the Isthmus of Panama with 190 Spanish soldiers and a thousand Indigenous people, eventually reaching the Pacific coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis historical comic recounts the events of that crossing—filled with traps, attempted betrayals, and confrontations with Indigenous peoples—which would culminate in the discovery of an ocean still unknown to Europeans. The engaging and well-researched script by Cristóbal Aguilar Jiménez is paired with the sublime watercolor artwork of Enrique Breccia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in Spain to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America, this book presents a new facet of the immense talent of the Argentine artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvrack-The Lord of the Falcons - Jorge Pinedo’s nights always end the same way. He has already visited almost every bar in the Caribbean, and from all of them he has been kicked out when his drunkenness becomes unbearable for the rest of humanity. But on this particular night, Jorge can no longer live with the memory of Graciela and decides to end his life. To do so, he approaches the cliff overlooking the sea. He lets himself fall, knowing that one way or another he will die.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat he does not know is that he is being watched. Someone has other plans for him: he is extracted from reality, implanted with the knowledge of a strange language, and given a treatment to alter his musculature. Jorge awakens on the back of a giant falcon, riding it as if it were a horse. He believes he is in a nightmare, but soon the inhabitants of this new fantasy world recognize him as their greatest hero. They all believe that Avrack has returned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inhabitants of this world soon realize that although he looks like him, the hero is not truly the same. Surely he is an impostor. But the need to have the greatest warrior to raise morale is overwhelming. At the same time, Jorge feels the need to prove his courage and finds ways to emerge successfully from every situation. From being a coward, he goes on to reject thrones and beautiful queens who burn with desire to have him at their side. What he truly needs are answers: who is Avrack? How—and why—is he in this world?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating adventure is written by the writer of New World, Ricardo Barreiro with art by Enrique Breccia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Epicenter Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52665610338602,"sku":"74584","price":71.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/2879\/4922\/files\/Breccia1.jpg?v=1790108954","url":"https:\/\/stuartngbooks.com\/products\/enrique-breccia-library-vol-1-white-gold-new-world-from-coast-to-coast-avrack-the-lord-of-the-falcons-numbered-with-kickstarter-extras-74584","provider":"Stuart Ng Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
