Burroughs, a graphic novel by João Pinheiro as published in softcover by Editora Veneta (São Paolo, Brazil) in 2015. Art, text, and design by João Pinheiro. Composition by Gustavo Piqueira. Editing by Sirlene Barbosa and Jacob Lebensztayn.

This is a story about Burroughs with Burroughs as the main character – Joan Vollmer, Francis Bacon, and the fictional Dr. Benway all appear. The text is in Portuguese, and there is no English-language edition (as of 2025). A hardcover edition in French was later produced by Presque Lune Editions, in 2017 and again in 2024 [thanks to Jeff Taylor for helping to determine these two dates].

"Os Limites do Controle" ["The Limits of Control"] by William S. Burroughs is reproduced in Portuguese towards the end of the book, in the section "Agentes do Controle."  

"The Limits of Control" section is not present in the French edition, from what I understand.

This was acquired from Livraria Ingá (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil).
