Young Adults
Baroña ou morte
By Pepe Carreiro
About this book
Prestigious designer and illustrator Pepe Carreiro is the founder of a new series of comic strips. Many years back the settlement of Castro de Baroña was inhabited by peculiar characters, a large kin known as the Barbanzóns who will be introduced in different comic books. The key to the script lies in current situations that are solved in the way they would be during those times. In this book we have the story of Con, who gets paranoid and decides to create awareness amongst its neighbours regarding the need to be alert in case of potential invasions. Attack is the best defence and the best defence against attack is a good party.
