Benjamin Garcia desires a better life. Like innumerable others from humble roots in Mexico, his plan is to head north, and find work in the USA.
Garcia soon discovers that crossing the border involves life-threatening risks: a train riddled with crooks, ruthless human smugglers, bloodthirsty minute-men snipers who take random pot-shots at people, and the unforgiving terrain of a wide and harsh desert. Will Garcia make it to the other side? What will life in America hold for him?
Dark, funny, and brilliantly adapted from Luis Estrada’s Spanish-language sleeper hit film, with contributions from some of Mexico’s finest comics art talent, El Narco is a graphic fable that ruthlessly mocks our age of greed and political dysfunction.
