Title: Colombia 86
Description: In 1986, Belisario Betancur was the President of Colombia. María Mónica Urbina was Miss Colombia. Miguel Maza Márquez was the director of the DAS. Carlos Pizarro was the commander of the M-19. Alfonso Sénior was a member of the FIFA Committee. Gabriel Ochoa Uribe was the coach of the Colombian national team. A uchronia is a reconstruction of history based on hypothetical data. That is why we wanted to launch our new publishing imprint Caballito Cómics with a graphic novel in which we imagine what could have been the World Cup Colombia 86 if Colombia had organised it instead of rejecting it. In this novel, Bogotá has a Metro and an M-19 commando kidnaps the president of FIFA. Colombia is in Group A with the USSR, Canada, Hungary, Morocco and Scotland.
