La Matadragones: Cuentos de Latinoamérica #[nn]

A vibrant cast of characters from Latin American folklore leaps off the cover of this TOON Graphics volume, illustrated by Jaime Hernandez — a confident young woman in a yellow dress leads the procession, stick in hand, accompanied by a child in an orange hat, a cat, a mouse, and a colorful assortment of fantastical and human figures, with a looming creature lurking in the background. Hernandez brings his signature expressive linework to La Matadragones: Cuentos de Latinoamérica, a collection of folk tales published in 2018 by RAW Junior, with an introduction by F. Isabel Campoy. It's a warm, lively invitation into storytelling traditions that deserve exactly this kind of spirited, beautifully drawn treatment.
