During the [[Santiago International Book Fair]] (FILSA), in November 2011, he launched his first graphic novel, ''Policía del karma'', drawn by Martín Cáceres,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://ngichile.ning.com/profile/MartinCaceresR |title=Página de Martín Cáceres R. |publisher=NGI Chile |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090817041448/http://ngichile.ning.com/profile/MartinCaceresR |archive-date=17 August 2009 |url-status=dead |access-date=27 April 2018}}</ref> where he recounts the actions carried out by a dystopian police force in an alternative Santiago that pursues people for crimes committed in their previous lives. The work won the FIC Award for best cover, best writer, best cartoonist, and best comic of the year 2011.

In May 2012 he created, again with illustrations by Cáceres, ''Lluscuma'', a fantasy graphic novel with elements of alternative worlds, time travel, hallucinations, psychological violence, alternate history, and delirium, set in 1977, during the event known as the case of Corporal Valdés (a supposed [[alien abduction|abduction by extraterrestrials]]), and 2013 in the context of issues related to death and torture during the [[Military dictatorship of Chile (1973–90)|military dictatorship]] of General Augusto Pinochet. The work was published weekly in the print edition of the newspaper ''[[La Segunda]]'' from May to November 2012. The following year it was released in a book with the text "revised, corrected, expanded, and edited with the calm and care that only months of work in the laboratory can give."<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.emol.com/noticias/magazine/2013/11/05/628250/nueva-novela-de-baradit.html |title=Jorge Baradit publica novela inspirada en la abducción del cabo Valdés |trans-title=Jorge Baradit Publishes Novel Inspired By the Abduction of Corporal Valdés |first=Alberto |last=Rojas |work=[[El Mercurio]] |location=Santiago |language=Spanish |date=5 November 2013 |access-date=27 April 2018}}</ref>

In the following two years, Baradit released the remaining volumes of the trilogy, with covers as provocative as the first (which had portrayed [[Arturo Prat]] as a spiritualist figure, endowed with a third eye).
