Nicolás Martínez Cerezo revives the irreverent spirit of Bruguera magazines to offer a new installment of adventures where innocence, surrealism, and a pop art aesthetic fuse together. This second volume gathers comic strips loaded with absurd humor, disconcerting dialogue, and a unique visual style that defies the genre's conventions.
