(Sept 19, 2023 | 9781419765889) centers around a celestial battle between
the gods of Brazil, who are worshipped by the Bahia people, and a fearsome
conquering force led by a dark and malevolent overlord. Only Shango, the
god of fire and thunder, can lead his people into victory while the fate of
creation hangs in the balance.

Masterfully executed and painstakingly researched, writer and artist Hugo
Canuto brings these legends to life with incredible designs and a vibrant
color palette. TALES OF THE ORISHAS is a bright and brilliant story that
showcases mythology as a powerful tool to remind us that there is something
greater to unite the peoples who sail on the blue star called Earth.


Hugo Canuto is a Brazilian visual artist, writer, and comic book author,
