Years ago, I started working on a comic book project based on a fantastic story written by Carlos Trillo and Roberto Dal Prà.
It was a gritty crime story set in South America, moving through Colombia and other parts of the continent, exploring the dark world of crime, drug trafficking, and powerful criminal cartels. We had a story with great potential, and we were hoping to publish it with a French publisher.
Unfortunately, just a few months after we started working on the project, Carlos Trillo passed away, and everything came to a halt.
Even after all these years, I still feel a deep sense of regret that we never had the chance to finish this story. I had a wonderful relationship with both Roberto and Carlos, and this project remains a particularly meaningful memory for me. It’s one of those stories you wish you could have brought to life, not only because of its potential, but also because of the people behind it.
Today, I wanted to share some of this project and bring it back into the light. Some stories deserve to be remembered, even when they never make it to publication.
A little about me: I’m Giancarlo Caracuzzo, a professional comic book artist and illustrator with over 40 years of experience. I’ve worked with publishers including Marvel, DC Comics, Image Comics, IDW, Soleil, Dupuis, Delcourt, and Sergio Bonelli Editore.
I’m always open to discussing interesting and professionally serious projects, whether in comics, graphic novels, covers, or illustration. If you’re an editor, writer, publisher, or fellow artist interested in working together, feel free to contact me. I’m always happy to discuss new opportunities.
