- Summary:
- "Based on historical events, this gripping graphic novel chronicles the fierce physical, legal, and political battles sparked by the discovery of an ancient underwater treasure. May 2007. The American treasure-hunting company Ithaca Deep Sea captures the world's attention when it uncovers a priceless shipwreck. But just as Ithaca's swashbuckling leader begins to boast about its plunder, clues emerge suggesting that the sunken ship may have played a pivotal role in Spain's cultural history. Thus begins a legal and political thriller, pitting a group of idealistic Spanish diplomats against a rich, ruthless, and powerfully connected treasure hunter, in which vital cultural heritage and hundreds of millions of dollars hang in the balance. Weaving threads of Tintin-inspired seafaring adventure, political intrigue, tense courtroom drama, and a bit of tender romance for good measure, internationally acclaimed cartoonist Paco Roca and writer Guillermo Corral have crafted a truly cinematic graphic novel." -- Back cover.
