It is 2012, and the most amazing archaeological discovery of our time-- a sarcophagus from an ancient civilization that predates the Egyptian Pyramids by more than fifty thousand years--is being broadcast as a live public exhibit on national TV.
But in their haste to reveal a glimpse of what could be the origin of mankind, the scholars of the OBARI Foundation instead unleash an ancient plague upon the modern world.
This is the age-old story of the curious--and of those who must race to close the door on what should never have been opened . . .
This is PANDORA, the End of Days...

Lucas tells the story of the fourth year of high school of a boy from a small Italian town and his group of friends.
The story deals with various topics related to adolescence: school, family, rebellion, excesses and friendship. Created entirely on a computer, the “graphic novel” will be published as a serial app, initially at the AppStore, then to follow at all the other stores. With this publication SnowGlobe Editions aims to move closer to an audience of teenagers and young digital “immigrants.”

24-year-old author from Parma, Chiara Borella makes her debut trying to find a synergy between a classic comic book story and a work of technological innovation.
