In 1950s Brazil- somewhere by the beach- not far from Rio- Hélcio- a young and promising soccer player- and his friend Noël- spot someone fishing with dynamite. They decide to take a boat and steal some of the dead fish to make some money. The boat trip turns into a perilous journey as the two thieves embark on an adventure that will challenge their friendship. Inspired by the life of Marcello Quintanilha’s father- Hélcio Quintanilha- this graphic novel is both a suspenseful thriller and a breathtaking story about friendship. In The Lights of Niteroi- internationally acclaimed graphic novelist Marcello Quintanilha returns to the city where he was born and raised. He dives into the waters of Guanabara Bay and crafts a plot based on real events that took place in the 1950s. It’s an adventure full of suspense- involving fishermen- soccer- the Brazilian feminist and striptease artist Luz del Fuego- and the first naturist camp in Brazil. Translated by the author with Bruna Dantas Lobato.
