Agus & Monsters: A phenomenal success in China
Jaume Copons and Liliana Fortuny, the creators of the “Agus & Monsters” series, recently had the opportunity to meet their Chinese fans at the prestigious Tianfu Book Fair in Chengdu. This visit was a result of a successful live-stream with Chinese book influencer Ms. Wang Fang earlier this year.
The authors’ trip to China was a monstrous dream come true, made possible by the enthusiastic support of Sichuan Publishing. The Simplified Chinese edition of “Agus & Monsters” has gained immense popularity since its launch in 2018, with a box set of 20 titles proving to be a particular hit.
During their visit, Copons and Fortuny had the chance to work with publishers and editors at Sichuan Publishing, discussing future plans for the series. They also participated in book signings and met countless fans at the book fair.One of the highlights of the trip was the long-awaited meeting with young Chinese readers who have fallen in love with “Agus & Monsters” adventures. The authors also had a special live-broadcast session with their biggest fan, Ms. Wang Fang.
Combel would like to express its sincere gratitude to the Sichuan Publishing team for their warm hospitality and unwavering support. This experience has been invaluable in fostering deeper connections with Chinese readers and ensuring the continued success of the “Agus & Monsters”series.
