ANTICUCHO & Other Peruvian Cyberpunk Stories
Out now from Gustaffo Vargas
I’ve been a fan of Gustaffo Vargas’s work for a while - I backed Manu, Puno and Pilcuyo, and I was pleased to be a backer on Kickstarter of ANTICUCHO and Other Peruvian Cyberpunk Stories. Now, it’s available online in print and digital formats, in both English and Spanish.
Discover a world where robotics and biotechnology are accessible to many and where corrupt governments and criminal organisations constantly struggle over power. Welcome to the World of Peruvian Cyberpunk!
ANTICUCHO was funded in August 2023 through Kickstarter, meeting its goal on the first day and also being featured a Project We Love.
This is a fantastic read with a great combination of dynamic storytelling and artwork that plays with angles and different scenes excellently and uniquely.
The building of the world allows you to jump right in. You don’t have to read the other books in this world (although I recommend them!), and you will find yourself fully immersed in the world and a quick connection with the characters, both good and bad.
There is some excellent action, and the blending of both nature and technology is brilliant. It combines the dual aspects of this world and the use of colour and dynamic art is well done and make you feel the pace of the story.
The stories are linked in terms of the location, but all have their own stories. I really enjoyed the character dynamics here and the relationships between them all.
The Graphic Novel Anthology brings two new stories connected to the Piraña street gang: TAYTA UKUKU and ANTICUCHO and includes the previously published L1MA story. The book dimensions are album size (close to A4 size, 28cm x 19.8cm / 11 inch x 7.8 inch), 88 pages, full colour, and is available in Hardcover (£20), Softcover (£15), and Digital format (£8).
