| Summary: | Acclaimed actor John Cusack and artist Ignacio Noe bring you a road trip with world-ending cosmic stakes! Two criminals on the lamb form an uneasy alliance to deliver a cryptic artifact to none other than Jackie Gleason: yes, that Jackie Gleason. Their road trip spirals into chaos when they're confronted by demon-possessed monsters, occult actors, mystical beings with untold power, and buried secrets that lead to a crash course in ancient extraterrestrial tech. Between betrayal, confessions, and cosmic absurdity, they may just save the world: or doom it with a punchline. Two criminals are thrown together by fate--both running from their pasts--a weathered man and a mysterious young woman who refuses to give her name form an unlikely partnership and take on a mission that could tear reality apart as they make their way through the already decaying barren wasteland of the American Dream and everything it stands for. Their goal? Recover an ancient artifact for Jackie Gleason: yes, that Jackie Gleason, TV legend and rumored connoisseur of all things extraterrestrial. But this isn't just a strange road trip. There are cosmic forces beyond imagination with a taste for chaos and vengeance and so much more along their route. As their uneasy alliance unravels mile by mile in a world littered with nuclear secrets and Howard Johnson's, buried secrets claw to the surface. and betrayals bloom like roadside flowers. And the closer they get to Gleason's hideaway, the more the lines blur between divine comedy and cosmic horror. The team might manage to reach Jackie, but doing so could cost them their very lives. Still, the mission cannot be put to a halt and our wayward strangers, with the help of the most eclectic cast of characters you've ever seen including occult actors and endlessly powerful mystical beings, must retrieve the artifact at all costs. It's a wild fusion of a road trip, theological noir, and pulpy sci-fi absurdism from acclaimed actor John Cusack and artist Ignacio Noe! |

At the same time, he worked for the Argentine magazine Noticias and the newspaper Clarín. In 1992, he made his debut in erotic comics with scripts by R. Barreiro, and later continued in the field with his own stories. These works appeared in Kiss Comic, a Spanish magazine, and were later published in book form in France, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, and the United States. He later came into contact with French scriptwriter Jean-David Morvan, collaborating on "Les Chroniques de Sillage" Vol. I, published by Delcourt. In the 2000s, he began a long career with the Argentine children''s magazine GENIOS, illustrating stories and books for the collections "Grandes Clásicos" and "Grandes Aventuras". Around this time, he also created the comic "Julián King", written by Carlos Trillo. In 2006, the acclaimed series "Helldorado" was launched, published by Casterman and written by J. D. Morvan and M.
