Beschreibung

Daizee and the Dukes of Chuco: Chuco-Juárez World Rally is DUKEScomics' second graphic novel. In this illustrated story, Daizee and her inventive cousins race to save the environment from pollutants and the corrupt oil and gas industries. Our Latina engineer shero has developed a power generating device, using nuclear fusion, that will cripple the oil and power industry. However, this tight knit family breaks all the rules to get their technology to the people of Chuco on the backs of their high-tech cars including the infamous General Z named after Mexican Revolution General Emiliano Zapata. One final race is one final chance to live long enough to fulfill a promise and change the world forever, Chuco style. But local law enforcement has deemed Daizee and the Dukes' family outlaws. Will they win the Chuco-Juárez World Rally and destroy big industry? This all-new graphic novel adventure takes place along the U.S.-Mexico border in the futuristic city of Chuco built on the remnants of what we now know of as El Paso, Texas. This graphic novel by DUKEScomics is available in English, Japanese, and Spanish with other languages coming soon. The first multilingual graphic novel opus by DUKEScomics, A.W.O.L.: Cruz Ochoa (a.k.a. A.W.O.L.), successfully debuted at Tokyo Comic Con and has since been sold in Japan. Their second graphic novel, Daizee and the Dukes of Chuco: Chuco-Juárez World Rally, will be debuting at FAN EXPO Portland 2023.
