Mexican author-illustrator Steph C. Solís has sold world English rights, at auction, for her graphic novel debut, The Body Was Never Found, to Anita Okoye at Abrams ComicArts. Jane Chun at Transatlantic Literary Agency arranged the deal. The book, set in Mexico City in 1965, straddles the horror and mystery categories, and follows, the publisher said, “a female artist haunted by the ghost of her mother who disappeared after a traumatic fight with the artist when she was a child.” Publication is set for August 2027.
Steph is represented by Jane Chun.
Congratulations, Steph!
