Three old friends reunite for the mother of all road trips! One of Spain\'s most brilliant graphic novelists finally makes his English-language debut in this elegantly unpredictable gem! Polly, Moho, and Piter haven\'t seen each other in years. Now they\'ve piled into a car for a loooong journey to a mysterious cross marked on a map. All their old personality quirks and conflicts are resurrected (with new wrinkles) as this surreal reunion gets underway. Up ahead are car chases, alcohol, roadside motels, banjo-playing thugs, a ship graveyard, violence, sensual tension, and, of course, a monkey! The captivating first graphic novel from internationally renowned cartoonist Ì lvaro Ortiz is an explosive mix of emotional road movie and hooligan thriller in which nothing is what it seems.
