Series Description
Ghost Line is a serialized intelligence graphic narrative exploring the invisible architecture of modern power, where surveillance fails, identities vanish, and state actors operate beyond accountability.
Across Season One, analyst Tomás Varela uncovers a hidden system capable of removing people from records, memory and institutional reality.
In Episode 4, Tomás and Mara infiltrate the hidden layer responsible for processing removals and discover the existence of Black Protocol.
The system is no longer theoretical. It is operational.

Editor’s Note
This is a work of fiction inspired by contemporary geopolitical realities. Any resemblance to real operations, agencies, or individuals is coincidental.
