Description
The first issue of Dave Ortega’s South Western Gothic short story series, Hacienda, tells two stories about viewing haunted places through a media lens.
In “Spirit Search,” a reality television show uses sensationalism to sell the idea of ghosts in a long-abandoned hacienda. The true story of spirits, lust, and rebellion is far more compelling than anything television producers could conceive.
“The Campesino Trilogy” follows two film students searching for a fabled bunker of cult filmmaker Sando. Sando’s films are surreal and stylized, and the film students discuss them and the filmmaker’s life as they hike through uncomfortable terrain.
Dave mixes nuanced cartooning with stories that seamlessly sway between lighthearted comedy, and deadly serious drama.
