Exclusive preview: Malu’s first comic book is here, by José Aguiar

First came the newspaper strips, then the graphic novels and a webcomic you can read here. Some time passed and the inevitable happened: Malu got her very own comic book! A handsome little format that fits nicely in your hands, vibrant colours and action, and stories about the small things in life that matter so much to all of us.

A little something to whet your appetite

To get you in the mood, here’s a small preview of issue #01, out in May 2026. After all, who hasn’t had a sticker album they could never quite complete?
