Creatures from the Cul-De-Sac (Link + HUD #3)

Description

It's October. Halloween is almost here, and brothers Lincoln and Hudson Dupré are excited about their first time trick-or-treating without their parents. But odd and spooky things start happening on their cul-de-sac--things they get blamed for. Link and Hud must face down zombies, a suspected werewolf, and a (definitely) haunted house to find the real culprit and save Halloween.

The latest entry in the hybrid graphic novel series brings more chaos, more laughs, and more adventures as Link and Hud use their imagination to get in (and out) of all kinds of trouble. Drawn from the imaginations and experiences of brothers and cocreators Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey, Link + Hud illuminates a world of adventure made possible with a partner in crime by your side.
