Oxy Comics and the leading sports site Gazzeta.gr join forces to publish in Greece the unique graphic novel "The Hand of God." An impressive illustrated book about the life, myth, and many facets of the personality of Diego Armando Maradona.

Born in a poor neighborhood outside Buenos Aires, young Diego showed his unique talent for football at the age of nine. Starting from the streets of his neighborhood, the pibe de oro, the "golden boy" of the fields, soon shined in European football.

However, Maradona became a legend as the captain of the Argentine national team in the 1986 World Cup when, in the quarter-finals against England, the "Hand of God" came to the rescue to give his team the lead and the legend that followed him throughout his life.

The destiny of an extraordinary talent in the hands -or rather the feet- of a sensitive man. "The Hand of God" is the chronicle of the life of one of the greatest football players of all time, through the stories of those who lived his history up close.
