This classic noir story sees a young woman in a 20th Century banana republic dragged into a suspense-filled thriller - now in luxurious hardback featuring rich, intriguing colors for the first time!



Denaldo Reynoso is a down-on-his-luck ex-cop, kicked to the crub for daring to do his job in the corrupt Banana Republic of La Colonia. Now, no good to himself or anyone else, he agrees to help a captivating woman known far and wide in La Colonia, a living myth of perfect virtue and reported healing powers, a facade that conceals a sordid web of deceit and depravity as ugly as the illusion is beautiful. But Reynoso`s desperate grasp for redemption unleashes a plague of evils, none more lethal than the Iguana, an unstoppable assassin whose mission is to bury the truth... and anyone who threatens to reveal it!



The Big Hoax shows all the richness of the wonderful graphic art of Roberto Mandrafina and unbeatable writing skills of late Carlos Trillo, who won the Best Scenario award for this album in 1999, at the International Comics Festival in Angouléme, France.






Born in Buenos Aires, Carlos Trillo began a prolific career as writer at the age of 20, penning his first story for Patoruzú magazine. Trillo, together with Horacio Altuna, created the strip El Loco Chávez, which appeared every day at the back of the newspaper Clarín from July 26, 1975 to November 10, 1987. After that, the strip was replaced by El Negro Blanco, which he wrote for the artist Ernesto García Seijas until September 1993.
He participated in the creation of several comics including his most notable work, Cybersix, in 1992, with Carlos Meglia, and the Clara de noche and Cicca Dum Dum series with Jordi Bernet. Trillo died in 2011 while on holiday with his wife.

Domingo Roberto Mandrafina debuted in 1969 on the magazine Patoruzito. Two years later he illustrated the science fiction series Samos, written by Jorge Morhain for the magazine Billiken. In 1972 Mandrafina started his collaboration with Editorial Columba and the review Top. In 1978, he started illustrating the series Savarese, written by Robin Wood, published in the magazine D`artagnan. Later he worked for Ediciones Record (Lady Shadow and El condenado). His other works include Dragger (written by Carlos Trillo), Cosecha verde and Race of Scorpions, for the publisher Dark Horse Comics
