The Big Hoax

1991

Denaldo Reynoso is a down-on-his-luck ex-cop, kicked to the curb for daring to do his job in the corrupt Banana Republic of La Colonia. Now, no good to himself or anyone else, he agrees to help a captivating woman known far and wide in La Colonia, a living myth of perfect virtue and reported healing powers, a facade that conceals a sordid web of deceit and depravity as ugly as the illusion is beautiful. But Reynoso's desperate grasp for redemption unleashes a plague of evils, none more lethal than the Iguana, an unstoppable assassin whose mission is to bury the truth...and anyone who threatens to reveal it! Written by CyberSix creator Carlos Trillo and illustrated by Roberto Mandrafina, The Big Hoax is another essential Venture graphic album, published in collaboration with Strip Art Features, and available for the first time in an English-language edition!

Iguana

1999

The most feared man in the history of the corrupt police state of La Colonia was the Iguana, an unstoppable assassin of monstrous cruelty, debased appetites, and nearly superhuman abilities. Now, he is seemingly dead, but his foul influence still permeates the landscape, inspiring as much terror and loathing in death as in life. When a beautiful and ambitious American tabloid journalist travels to La Colonia to investigate the Iguana's apparent death, she herself becomes entangled in his legacy of savage transgressions and perverse desires, and even a Pulitzer Prize may not be able to wipe away the stain on her soul. Written by Cybersix creator Carlos Trillo and illustrated by Roberto Mandrafina, and the sequel to The Big Hoax, The Iguana is a brutal satire, as disturbing as it is sardonic. Not for the faint of heart, THE IGUANA is another essential Venture graphic album, published in collaboration with Strip Art Features, and available for the first time in an English-language edition!
