La Mona Bruja

In Central American folktales Monas Brujas are demonic figures, women who shed their human skin to wreak havoc on the innocent. La Mona Bruja is Michael T. Houston's first graphic novel. It weaves heroic themes from Irish and Norse epics into a classic fable of a decisive battle of good versus evil set in modern Central America. As in El Cantar del Mio Cid, heroism is confirmation of deep love and loyalty. This bilingual tale brings a new figure into the knight errant genre, Peppy the heroic rescue dog and loyal confidant. This edition includes complete English and Spanish versions.
