Earlier today, we shared a look at the Stranger Things merchandise created by artist Chogrin that combines fan favorite character Eleven with the monster called the demogorgon – and the “Elegorgon” art isn’t the only cool thing Chogrin has created recently. Chogrin also teamed with illustrator Pakoto to create the 40 page children’s book Kid del Toro (Lil’ Libros), which was inspired by the childhood of genre filmmaker Guillermo del Toro! You can pick up a copy of Kid del Toro at THIS LINK.
