About the series
In 2017, Veneta published Angola Janga: Uma História de Palmares, a standalone graphic novel by Brazilian artist and writer Marcelo D'Salete. The work is a deeply researched, visually powerful account of the Quilombo dos Palmares, the legendary 17th-century community of escaped enslaved people in colonial Brazil. D'Salete, known for his unflinching historical narratives, brings this story of resistance and survival to life with stark, expressive black-and-white art. This book is a vital contribution to understanding a foundational chapter of Brazilian history often marginalized in mainstream storytelling.
