Description: "When TJ attends his uncle's funeral he expects to be bored. But when he escapes into his uncle's office and discovers a secret door to a basement, his uncle's classified documents open up a whole world of unidentified aircraft, strange gray men, and alien conspiracies he knew nothing about. What will TJ learn from these hidden files? Or will the mysterious men in black who appeared at the funeral get to him first?"--

Brief description: Fran Bueno's goal has always been to draw comics, and he started doing it professionally with Os Escachapedras, written by Marilar Aleixandre. Shortly afterward he published fleetingly in France and more regularly in the United States, for collections such as Noble Causes or Graveyard Shift, both written by Jay Faerber. He has also published pamphlets, advertisements, manuals, and books for children and young people in Spain, France, UK and USA. His other personal projects include Ribao, a comic written by Diego Ameixeiras, and another one created entirely by himself, called Mother Star.
