Giants Beware

In Giants Beware (2012–present, First Second), young Claudette sets out to slay a giant and prove herself a legendary hero, only to discover that the real adventure—and the monsters she must face—are far stranger and more personal than any fairy tale. Written and illustrated by the team of Jorge Aguirre and Rafael Rosado, this all-ages fantasy comic launched as a single, self-contained graphic novel, blending spirited humor with a warm, character-driven story. Its importance lies in its fresh, subversive take on classic quest narratives, offering young readers a spirited heroine and a world where bravery and friendship matter more than brute strength.
