DARK HORSE AND ALEX VEDE SEEK THE CITY OF GOLD IN “YUCATAN 1512”
Dark Horse introduces the debut of distinctive comic and concept artist Alex Vede with his first original graphic novel, Yucatan 1512. Vede is a Spain-based illustrator and writer who weaves the myths of the Yucatan into his evocative and colorful style for a tale of bloody betrayal and redemption coming to adventurous readers in May 2025.
An expedition of Spanish soldiers makes landfall in the Yucatan Peninsula in the year 1512, seeking a legendary city of Mayan gold. Sorolla, a grizzled old soldier full of remorse, seeks oblivion on foreign soil. When his commander slays one of the native inhabitants, Sorolla rebels against his troop to save a child from a similar fate. The quest for the city of gold turns into a manhunt. The pair flee through the jungle seeking sanctuary from the onslaught of the Spanish soldiers at their heels. But deep in that jungle, in the heart of the ancient city, rest monstrous warriors waiting for a vengeful summons.
The road to the legendary city of gold is vibrant and lined with violence when Yucatan 1512 arrives in bookstores on May 6, 2025 and comic shops on May 7, 2025 for $19.99. The 80-page (6.625” x 10.1875”) paperback is available for pre-order now from TFAW, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, your local bookstore, or visit Comic Shop Locator for more details and stores near you.
