After having her otaku card revoked for becoming a samba enthusiast in her teenage years, she has been discovering her punk side as an adult and playing drums in her spare time (watch out, Travis Barker!). Just like Alan, the paranormal podcaster, she adores a good conspiracy theory and loves to tell inventive stories. Since she's gotten too old to be a roadie on the Bikini Kill's comeback tour, she has become a screenwriter, writing for successful children's TV series in Brazil such as Brainiacs (Gloob), Monica's Gang: the Series (Globoplay), and The Nutty Boy (Netflix). Superpunk is her first work as a comic book artist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eGuilherme Petreca\u003c\/b\u003e was blown away when he first encountered hardcore and punk rock through the soundtrack of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 and a CD that came with an issue of Surf Attack magazine (back when magazines still came with CDs). He played in garage bands in his youth but mostly preferred to channel that energy into making comics instead of his questionable musical talent. He is the author of Carnaval de Meus Demônios (2015) published by Balão Editorial, a finalist for the Jabuti Award, and Ye (2016) published by Veneta, which won the 14th Japan International Manga Awards and the HQ Mix Trophy. He published Ogiva (2020) with writer Bruno Zago, which was adapted into a live-action film, and Shamisen (2021) and Kabuki (2025) with writer Tiago Minamisawa. He is also an art director, concept artist, and storyboard artist for TV and movies. Superpunk, initially published as a zine in 2017, was inspired by his preadolescence, when he walked around with his Walkman and believed in invisible monsters.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 05, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45557656748076,"sku":"9798894880761","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/6260\/8940\/files\/N8LeDV1nVH9798894880761.webp?v=1779306552","url":"https:\/\/littleredgeneralstore.com\/products\/superpunk-paperback","provider":"Little Red General Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
