Synopsis

A light that didn’t come by chance

Between mystery and danger, an ordinary night becomes an unforgettable journey.

In this electrifying Radius spin-off starring Marília’s most beloved mutt, Pituco sets off on an unexpected adventure.

After a short break from his battles, he joins his friends at the Alley of the Night Cats. Even while trying to have fun, his mind is restless. When he heads home, an emerald flash tears across the sky, lighting up the road and sparking his curiosity.

Beyond the edge of the Solar System, an energy was desperately fleeing its pursuers in search of refuge on Earth. Now its fate crosses paths with the brave mutt, who follows the glowing trail to an abandoned factory.

Born in Marília, Brazil, he is a director at Mustache Marketing and the creator of the Radius franchise, which blends science fiction, dystopia and Brazilian culture in a version of Marília set in the year 3121.

The project was first imagined in 1996 and took its final shape during the pandemic, when Tiago rewrote the script inspired by his own dog, Pituco. To bring Radius and other stories to readers, he founded Mustache Comics.
