Twenty years after Hernán Cortés achieved his final victory over Moctezuma and the Aztec Empire, an unusual trio from Tenochtitlan, the future Mexico City, sets out northward: an idealistic monk who wants to save the souls of the Indians, a former slave with black skin who has been stripped of all alternatives, and the last living daughter of Moctezuma, fleeing from her brutal fiancé. Their reasons for the daring journey are vastly different, yet they are united in their diversity. "The New World" is the comic debut of the author duo Helpert/Armanet. The fresh historical setting between Indians and Aztecs provides the perfect backdrop for a thrilling story about three very different heroes, featuring vividly colored images inspired by classic Westerns.
