The complete biography of Cristina, "La Veneno," the most media-friendly figure of the last two years.

On April 15, 1996, Cristina, la Veneno, made her first television appearance, hosted by Pepe Navarro, on the program La sonrisa del pelícano . Within weeks, her image became a media phenomenon that forever changed the way Spanish society understood identity, fame, and truth. A trans woman, without filters or complexes, who spoke unashamedly about her life, her work, and her experiences. Her authenticity, her body, and her self-confidence captivated millions of people. Cristina lived at a dizzying pace, between stardom and scandals, between excesses and shadows. Over the years, her life was a roller coaster of triumphs and falls, of loves and betrayals, of laughter and tears.

In this book, journalist Álex Ander and illustrator Carlos Valdivia invite us to discover the complete biography of Cristina "La Veneno," the most media-influenced figure of the last two years, through a visual narrative that interweaves text and illustrations. With this work, the authors seek to pay tribute to one of the most beloved and tragic personalities in the entertainment world.

A story of reinvention, struggle and truth:
Since her appearance in The Smile of the Pelican , Cristina's figure has gained ground in Spanish popular culture, but her path to fame was filled with ups and downs. The same spontaneity that catapulted her to fame also led her to walk a tightrope, facing misogyny, public scorn, and the difficulties inherent in being a trans woman in a deeply conservative context. The excesses, controversies, and betrayals didn't stop her from shining, but Cristina's life was marked by a constant struggle for her identity and for her right to be loved and accepted as she was.

Poison, from Adra to the Stars is not just a biography: it's a declaration of love for a woman who was much more than a television personality, a woman who left an indelible mark on the culture and collective memory of a society that didn't always know how to handle her magnitude. A story of reinvention, struggle, truth, and, above all, authenticity.
