Portuguese translation (Brazil). Exploring the extreme historical, social, and "racial" violence of the Westward expansion of the United States of America in the second half of the twentieth century, this book is told from the perspective of a young and naïve East Coast journalist who witnesses the atrocious and fantastical actions of a mercenary gunman in a mask of crow. Containing one of the most psychedelic and epic shooting scenes, this was a book in which the author also tried to recover from a brutal accident that had prevented him from drawing. The "nervous" and "crooked" style are themselves witnesses to a recovery.
