They've won multiple Eisners and have worked with the top names of comics and pop culture from Joss Whedon (Sugar Shock) and Mike Mignola (BPRD: 1947) to Gerard Way (Umbrella Academy) and Matt Fraction (Casanova).Now, Brazilian wonder twins Fbio Moon and Gabriel B are back writing and drawing in a hauntingly lyrical series set in their native Brazil.
