Ariol Volume 2 Thunder Horse SC – Papercutz brings another French all-ages comic to American audiences. Ariol is your everyday tween donkey. He lives with his parents in the suburbs, has friends, and goes to school. And he knows he’s just like his hero in every way… mostly. He’s brave, but handsome and tall—maybe not yet. But he’s going to do everything he can to grow up and become like the guardian of the stars! This slice-of-life series started in 2000 in France and became popular enough to get its own cartoon series in 2009. With charming artwork and plenty of humor, this is a series readers of any age will enjoy.

    My sons and I really enjoyed Mike Kunkel’s initial run on Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam. Herobear and the Kid looks really fun! What age range would you recommend it for? Are there other comics/graphic novels by Mike Kunkel that you’d recommend?
