After winning the contest and raising enough money to open their own garage in Lowriders in Space (2014), Lupe Impala, El Chavo Flapjack, and Elirio Malaria are happily working on cars all day. But when an earthquake strikes and their beloved gatito, Genie, goes missing, they load up their ranfla and follow the trail of tiny cat paw prints. That trail leads them through a gigantic corn maze, toward a volcano, and right into the bone-strewn Realm of the Dead, lorded over by the terrifying Mictlantecuhti, the Aztec god of the underworld, who’s got his evil heart set on collecting the bones of our valiant trio and their gato. Raúl’s boisterous, high-octane artwork, stunning in blue, black, red, and green ballpoint pen, matches the manic energy of the story, and when the Lowriders take on Mictlantechuti in a lucha libre bust-up, his no-holds-barred style really shines. While the high-flying pace means that some story elements seem a bit rushed, the wild antics, exuberant illustrations, and frequent Spanish will launch the Lowriders straight into many hearts.
