What the hell has happened to the Devil?
• A hilarious comic style series with a fantastic hook
• With plenty of uproarious details and screamingly funny gags
• A parody of day-to-day life that is bursting with originality and comic wordplay
• 1-3 audacious illustrations on every double page
Hell is reimagined as a large company with a bad-tempered boss, an all-powerful CEO, a creative department which thinks up punishments for the damned, and an IT officer in charge of digitalisation. How the hell is Lucifer supposed to get excited about the “family business”?
Lucifer Junior is the devil’s son. He lives in Hell, and one day he will take over the family business. The only problem, according to Lucifer Senior, is that his son is still far too nice for the job. He decides to send him off to the land of the living for some work experience. After all, where better to learn how to be bad than among human beings? And so young Lucy is dispatched to the Saint Fidibus School for Boys, where the plan is for him to study Torben and his gang, and learn from them how to be truly mean and nasty. The question is: does Lucy really want to be nasty at all?

Praise for the series:
“Someday you’ll find me in Division 67 – the division for mums and dads who spend all their time reading Jochen Till books and delegate the housework to the younger generation. The punishment: eternal washing up! Hilarious and very clever!”
Corinna Höfler, bookseller
“The enthusiastic response among German readers is well-deserved, and the series will certainly spark interest elsewhere.”
