Angelino is a young loser like thousands of others in the Dark Meat City. He and his friend Vinz are squatters at a seedy hotel room in the Latin Quarter, Rios Rosas. Angelino spends his days watching Mexican wrestling matches on TV, delivering pizzas and having bizarre metaphysical discussions with his roommate. A stupid scooter accident will plunge Angelino into a hurricane of unimaginable trouble, as he becomes the only person on Earth capable of recognizing the vicious cosmic entities that walk among us, who are readying themselves to invade the planet.

Titan Comics Acquires Rights For The Hit French Comic Mutafukaz

Posted on April 21, 2015 by Brett

Today Ankama announced that the publishing rights in the US, UK and Canada (and other English-speaking countries) of its hit series, Mutafukaz (from Ankama’s Label ‘619’), have been acquired by Titan Comics. The first issue will be released this Autumn/Fall 2015 in English-speaking countries.

Mutafukaz is one of the most famous comics in France. It is the story of Angelino, one of the thousand deadbeats living in Dark Meat City. However, after an unremarkable scooter accident, caused by a beautiful, mysterious stranger, Angelino’s life is about to be transformed… into a walking nightmare! He starts witnessing monstrous entities prowling all over the city… Is Angelino losing his mind, or is this the work of an otherworldly invasion from… the stars?

Mutafukaz came out of the mind of Run, a graphic artist and illustrator who first worked as creative director in several advertising agencies. For his own work and universe, he pulls inspiration from the golden age of Sci-Fi, pulp movies and the popular Latino culture.

After 4 volumes, the series has already sold over 100,000 copies in France. The final issue is scheduled to be released this Fall. A short movie inspired from the brand has been nominated at the Sundance festival in 2003 and a full length movie, produced by Ankama and Japanese legendary animation studio Studio 4C, is currently in production.
