Broadsheet of text with skeleton or calavera art. The main print is of calaveras cleaning up.

I love that researching Latinx comics brings me to so many places. Such as José Guadalupe Posada's calaveras prints. Posada was a Mexican print artist who made satirical art for corridas (full songs) printed on broadsheets.
