Cascaborra Ediciones La Noche Triste comic

This masterful graphic novel plunges you directly into the heart of the Mexica (Aztec) empire at its most volatile moment, offering a visceral and unforgettable journey through a night of chaos, desperation, and brutal conflict.

Step back in time to the magnificent city of Tenochtitlán. The year is 1520. Hernán Cortés and his men have been besieged for a week within the grand palace of Axayácatl. Trapped and vastly outnumbered, their supplies have been exhausted. Hungry and thirsty, they face annihilation at the hands of a hostile city. Their only hope lies in a daring, desperate gamble: a covert escape under the cloak of darkness. They decide to flee at midnight, in silence, under the cover of a torrential rain, with the horses´ hooves carefully covered with cloth to muffle any sound. The plan is precarious, a thread of hope in an ocean of danger as they attempt to slip unnoticed through the sprawling island capital.

But as they reach the Toltec canal, their fragile plan for a silent retreat is shattered. An old Mexican woman who had gone out with a jug to fetch water, surprises them in full retreat. Her single, piercing scream cuts through the stormy night, an alarm that awakens the entire city. In an instant, the two hundred thousand inhabitants of the capital of the Mexica empire pounce on the Spaniards, ready to massacre them. The causeways become a deathtrap, and the "Sad Night" begins its bloody descent into legend.
