Erwin es especial porque es un gato cuántico y vive en Biotopía, un lugar donde todo es posible. En esta primera aventura, Erwin y Marvin viajarán al pasado para evitar que Biotopía sea totalmente destruida por el malvado Doctor Rufián. Pero la cosa se pone complicada cuando Erwin y Marvin descubren la que, en realidad, parece ser la verdadera y sorprendente identidad del causante del apocalipsis. Un cómic especialmente espacial con ilustraciones de otro mundo y un misterio con infinitas preguntas a las que responder. Salido de la imaginativa mente del guionista Manuel Bartual, es ideal para lectores a partir de 6 años.

Action Dude
by Andy Riley

 
First name ... Action. Second name ... Dude. What would happen if you put Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and Die Hard-era Bruce Willis in a bucket and stirred them together with a big stick? You'd get something like Action Dude. That's his real name. He used to be Charlie Munderdrew, but he changed it. Action Dude lives for danger and excitement. He's always jumping out of helicopters, crashing ships, running along the tops of cranes and walking out of buildings just before they explode. He's nine years old and also the bravest action hero there ever was. Except that he's terrified of spiders. (But don't ever tell anyone that!) When a theme park full of robots goes haywire, it's up to Action Dude to come to the rescue. After all, no one else is crazy enough to just walk in there and save everyone.
