Description
Maria M. is a brutal and original crime thriller that tells the story of Maria M., whose life south of the border is marked by sex, drugs, violence, and power. When she comes to America for a better life, she marries a drug kingpin, whose son discovers her darkest secret, leading to a violent gangland bloodbath. This graphic novel collects both Book One (now out of print) and the previously unpublished Book Two, presenting Maria M.'s complete story for the first time. A meta-twist worthy of Maria M.'s pulpy pages is that it doubles as a "biopic" of the mother of one of Hernandez's most beloved characters. For fans of Hernandez's work, Maria M. offers a gripping and intense read, while newcomers will be drawn in by its unflinching portrayal of crime and violence.
