Paco and Tiny
Description
Paco doesn't know where he belongs as a new kid in a strange city. But with the help of his giant dog Tiny, he'll learn that the metropolis holds plenty of adventure.
The latest graphic-novel from Eisner-nominated team Julio Anta and Jacoby Salcedo! Perfect for fans of Mexikid and Pawcasso.
Paco is ready to move to the big city!
He's seen countless old movies that show New York as an amazing place full of adventure, but he soon finds out that isn't reality. The fantastic buildings he expected to see are plain, the streets are crowded, and there are NO giant monsters around. Except for the strangely large creature that almost literally runs into him after destroying a hot dog cart. Wait, WHAT?
Reenergized, Paco follows the creature and finds out it's an overly large dog named Tiny who seems to cause chaos wherever he goes. Together this unlikely pair begins to explore the city and finds out there's far more adventure than what meets the eye.
From Eisner-nominated team Julio Anta and Jacoby Salcedo comes an instant classic tale of a boy and his best friend.
