La bande à Julio #1

The cover of this first volume sets a wonderfully spooky yet playful mood — a candlelit cemetery glowing under a deep blue night sky, where a wide-eyed boy is flanked by two charmingly odd companions: a grinning skeleton figure and a masked, superhero-suited creature. Created by Tony Emeriau and Mickaël Roux, La Bande à Julio: Prêts pour el Dia de los Muertos? looks like a delightful kids' adventure that embraces the warmth and color of Día de los Muertos celebrations. This 2021 Kennes release promises a gang of unlikely friends and just the right amount of fun-filled fright for young readers.
