Guillem March Returns To US Comics With Sensual Thriller ‘Ofiusa’ From Image

by Olly MacNamee

Since discovering artist/writer Guillem March (Batman, The Joker, Catwoman, Karmen), I’ve been a big fan of his work. But, in recent years, I haven’t seen much of him in American comics. So it’s with some relish I get to share the news that he’s returning with a new sultry romantic thriller: Ofiusa from Image Comics.

“In Ofiusa, the romance between the irresistible Mar and the young entrepreneur Joan gets off to a flying start. In another timeline, Joan meets the enigmatic Isla on a paradise island. A love triangle in which everyone is hiding something, while a dark secret from the past awaits to be revealed.

“With exquisite artwork that evokes paradise and a story that gradually lays bare the characters’ souls — while also leaving room for fun, seduction, and the search for truth. Be careful when diving into the waters of Ofiusa.”

Discussing this new series, years in the making, March said:

“With Ofiusa, I’ve created the kind of comic I enjoy reading as a fan. I love the personal projects of creators with a unique voice. They might be a bit risky or outside the mainstream, and they’re certainly not for readers looking for more conventional comics, but they exude soul and a love for a job well done. Ofiusa has taken many years of work, and it’s a bit dizzying to think it’s finally seeing the light of day, but it’s the comic I’m most proud of to date.”

Ofiusa #1 is out Wednesday, 16th September from Image Comics.
