SDCC 2023: Fantagraphics Announces the Publication of Braba, a Brazilian comics anthology Edited by Rafael Grampá and Janaína de Luna
Fantagraphics has announced Braba, a high concept anthology of innovative Brazilian comics. Expertly curated by renowned Brazilian cartoonist Rafael Grampá and famed Brazilian comics editor Janaina de Luna, this extraordinary collection of 13 short stories created by 16 pioneering Brazilian cartoonists captures the vibrant and daring nature of the Brazilian comics scene. Produced in collaboration with Brazilian publisher MINO, Braba is set to release in Fall 2024.
Braba brings together a diverse array of voices and styles under a unifying theme: deeply personal stories from experimental cartoonists. Each artist has uniquely interpreted this concept, resulting in a collection that encapsulates the intensity, political gravitas, and artistic avant-garde spirit of the Brazilian comics community during one of the country’s most challenging socio-political periods.
The contributors to Braba include Amanda Miranda, Bruno Seelig, Diego Sanchez, Gabriel Goes, Jefferson Costa, Jéssica Groke, Sirlene Barbosa, João Pinheiro, Cris Eiko, Paulo Crumbim, Pedro Cobiaco, Pedro Franz, Rafael Coutinho, Shiko, and Wagner Willian. Each artist has brought their unique voice and style to the anthology, creating compelling and thought-provoking short stories contributing to the rich cultural tapestry of Brazilian comics.
The term “BRABA,” a Brazilian slang derived from “BRAVA” meaning angry, has been embraced as a symbol of something impressive and groundbreaking. Originating from Brazil’s edgy youth culture, the term is a compliment for individuals who exhibit vibrant and daring attitudes. Through this anthology, Braba aims to showcase the boldness and resilience required to thrive in Brazil’s bourgeoning comics scene.
Braba will be available for purchase in bookstores and online retailers starting Fall 2024.
Rafael Grampá’s Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham debuts on Batman Day
Rafael Grampá’s dynamic art style has earned him legions of fans worldwide and this September Grampá brings his talents to Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham, a new DC Black Label limited series. The new series debuts Saturday, September 16, Batman Day!
Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham brings Grampá’s twisted vision of both the Dark Knight and the city of Gotham to life in a tale that reaches its icy black tendrils into the deepest and darkest corners of human nature to leave you gasping for breath—and begging for more!
In a Gotham City where every day feels darker and more irredeemable than the last, Batman makes a definitive choice—to kill off the Bruce Wayne identity for good and embrace the cape and cowl full-time. But though he knows the streets of Gotham, Batman will soon come to find that he hardly knows himself. A serial killer is on the loose, and while the murder victims seem random at first, every clue draws Batman closer to the terrifying truth—that they are all connected, not just to each other, but to him as well. When an all-new rogues gallery of utterly depraved villains begins to emerge from the depths of the city, Batman will have to contend with the very nature of evil—including that which lurks in the darkest corners of his own heart—to face what is coming for the city he has sworn to protect.
In addition to Grampá’s breathtaking cover and interior art, a who’s who of comic book luminaries lend their talents to this debut issue in the form of some incredible variant covers.
Fan-favorite artist Jim Lee will be providing a variant cover (featuring colors by series colorist Matheus Lopes), with additional variants from comic book icon and Golden Child collaborator Frank Miller and renowned Batman artist David Finch. A black-and-white version of Lee’s cover will be available as a 1-in-25 “ratio” variant, along with a 1-in-50 variant cover by Priscilla Petraites, a 1-in-100 variant cover from Paul Pope, and a 1-in-250 black-and-white variant cover by Miller, also based on his cover art.
Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham #1 will also be available (at participating retailers) in a “noir” version, showcasing the complete first issue (art and letters) of the story in vivid black and white.
