FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
JAN. 16, 2025 (PORTLAND, OR) — Nakama Press, an imprint of Mad Cave Studios, invites readers into a quiet, unsettling mystery where memory, belief, and unresolved history collide…
An original 180-page young adult graphic novel from Brazilian writer and illustrator Cassio Ribeiro (Iris Complex, Sara Animals, Navigating with You), LAST CALL TO LEAVE EARTH unfolds as a small-town mystery shaped by emotional realism and speculative unease, asking what we choose to believe—and what it costs to keep believing.
Rita, Carlos, and Lucas were merely friends until a pivotal moment changed everything: they photographed what many in the small town of Caminho da Anta believed to be an alien. Years later, Rita, now thriving as a professional photographer, returns to discover the truth behind that fateful day and its effects on their lives and the community. A troubled photographer, a fame-seeking UFO enthusiast, and a loyal cult member are all in pursuit of answers, but what they find could be more extraordinary than they ever anticipated. |
