This captivating historical comic allows you to experience the past in a uniquely engaging format. From his retirement at the Franciscan Monastery of Santo Domingo, an older and reflective Alonso de Ojeda recounts the turbulent saga of his life. With his wife Guaricha by his side, he revisits the defining moments of his career. The narration plunges you directly into the fray, beginning with the first brutal battles upon his arrival in the Americas. The story then masterfully navigates through the fundamental episodes of his life: witness the cunning and imaginative capture of the indigenous chief Caonabo, a feat that cemented his reputation for boldness.

Follow his groundbreaking journey along the continental coast, a voyage undertaken with the legendary cartographers Juan de La Cosa and Amerigo Vespucci. Through this gripping account, you will discover Lake Maracaibo and the island of Curaçao alongside the explorers who first charted them. Experience the immense challenge of founding the first Spanish settlements on the mainland, Coquibacoa and San Sebastián de Urabá, in the vast, untamed lands then known as Tierra Firme. The narrative also delves into the complex and bitter rivalry that defined his career: his constant dispute with the powerful Columbus brothers, a conflict that continuously conditioned his path as an explorer and ultimately truncated his grand aspirations as a conqueror. This is not just a biography; it´s a tale of ambition, loyalty, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of glory in a world being redrawn.
