Balez & Malina #2

This 2017 BD Kids release brings back the prehistoric duo Balez and Malina for a second adventure subtitled Secret Défense. The cover sets a playful tone immediately: a stocky, scowling Balez with wild red hair faces off against the curly-haired Malina, who holds a finger to her lips in a conspiratorial hush — while a small, round mammoth-like creature sits cheerfully between them. Created by Romain Pujol, Thitaume, and Baptiste Amsallem, this charming series offers humor with a Stone Age twist that's sure to delight young readers.
