In 1986 I was working in television when I received an invitation from the publisher Brasiliense to participate in a daring project for the youth audience: to write a book that started with comics, turned into prose, and alternated the two languages. I can't resist a challenge and I wrote a story mixing the classic Moby Dick with the Mission Impossible series. The comic parts were drawn by my great partner Jo February. The collection did not work out very well and soon the Brasiliense publishing house itself would collapse. I'm preparing a completely new version of the same story.
