Wild by Cristian Castelo – New Paperback

Unleash the adrenaline in Wild, the breakout graphic novel from the incredibly talented Cristian Castelo. Originally debuting as a hit webcomic, this ShortBox published trade paperback is a high-octane, stylish explosion of action, attitude, and mid-2000s aesthetic.

This item is Brand New, making it a must-have for fans of roller derby, high-speed chases, and vibrant, character-driven indie comics with a rebellious spirit.

High Speed, Higher Stakes

• The Story: Set in a world of competitive, high-stakes street racing and physical grit, Wild follows a cast of unforgettable characters navigating a landscape of rivalry and ambition. It is a story about the drive to be the best, the bonds formed in competition, and the raw energy of youth.

• Dynamic Visual Style: Cristian Castelo’s art is the star of the show—clean, expressive linework paired with a bold, retro-modern color palette. The sense of motion is palpable, making every race and confrontation feel like it’s leaping off the page.

• A Modern Indie Gem: Published by ShortBox, a label known for its curated and high-quality independent releases, this volume represents the best of the modern "small press" scene transitioning into a beautiful physical format.

• Cultural Flair: Infused with a unique blend of fashion, music, and subculture influences, Wild feels less like a traditional comic and more like a curated visual experience.
