We have an exclusive look at some of the interiors of ALTIPLANO, A Peruvian Cyberpunk Saga before it goes live!
Creator: Gustaffo Vargas
The ALTIPLANO Saga is a story about monkeys, jaguars, cyborgs, sex and warfare with a grand finale. Follow Lila and Sonia as they hide from an evil corporation that follows their steps, looking for a hidden asset connected to their past.
Peruvian Cyberpunk is a world where robotics and biotechnology are accessible to many and where corrupt governments and criminal organisations constantly struggle over power.
"This is my way of showing and explore my Peruvian culture, its lush and beauty, but also its weird and dark. It's a decolonising perspective to Cyberpunk, constantly exploring new grounds." - Gustaffo Vargas
Below, we have a special sneak peek at some of the interiors from ALTIPLANO, A Peruvian Cyberpunk Saga.
ALTIPLANO, a Peruvian Cyberpunk Saga is a Graphic Novel with 152 pages, full colour and ALBUM size (close to A4 size, 28cm x 19.8cm / 11 inch x 7.8 inch)
"This isn’t just about mechs and machetes. It’s about authorship. About flipping the cyberpunk lens inward — toward indigenous trauma, colonial ghosts, and ecosystems choking on megacorp smog. Vargas doesn’t just write from the margins — he weaponizes them." - Anthony Pollock, My Kind of Weird
The campaign will launch on the 10th of July and is already a “Project We Love” by Kickstarter. In the campaign, backers can also get the full catalogue of Peruvian Cyberpunk books, ANTICUCHO & Other Peruvian Cyberpunk Stories, and TRUJILLO as physical or digital formats. There will also be original comic pages, art commissions, and stickers available.
