Esposito said, I am excited to be a part of this profoundly dynamic project,The Venetian.
An action-packed character driven graphic novel.
Its an unusual original story that exemplifies my deeply rich Afro Italian heritage.

A modern noir set in the crumbling Venice underbelly with Giancarlos protagonist at its heart.
This is the kind of thing every artist dreams of bringing to life on the page, added Martin.
