The last of his breed, Dayak is born into a futuristic ghetto overrun with ruthless heavy-armed brutes. Dayak is a highly enjoyable example of the standard "corrupt future" graphic novel plot, with the uncommon twist of being set in Africa. A fratricide struggle in a futuristic Africa.
Witness the clash of two brothers in an African Los Angeles which has the feel of an immense ghetto. On one side there is Dayak, abandoned as a child, he was raised in secret and initiated in the world of magic. On the other there is Simon, President of CPM, a mining company that sees Africa, merely, as a vast depositary ripe for pillaging. The battle that ensues between the two is not just brother against brother; it is man against money and love versus indifference. And it also represents a clash of two indestructible forces: machines against wizards, technology against magic.
After a number of albums Dayak is Adamovâ's first series as both artist and writer. It is a dynamic work rich in design, with textured colours, there is intrigue, passion and politics blended together to create a bewitching and sulphurous mix.
