MYSTERY BOXES NEW PTG

EXPLORER SC VOL 01 MYSTERY BOXES NEW PTG

Seven clever stories answer one simple question: What's in the box? Funny, fantastic, spooky, and suspenseful, each of these unique and beautifully illustrated short graphic works revolves around a central theme: a mysterious box and the marvels-or mayhem-that is hidden inside. Artists include middle school favorites Kazu Kibuishi, Raina Telgemeier (Smile), and Dave Roman (Astronaut Academy), as well as Jason Caffoe, Stu Livingston, Johane Matte, Rad Sechrist (all contributors to the groundbreaking comics anthology series Flight), and Emily Carroll. Award-winning artist Kazu Kibuishi's selection creates a mixture of laughs and creeps (with some philosophy) as well as the kind of graphical triumphs expected from Kibuishi's other collections. With gorgeously detailed full-color artwork, there is a spooky tale of a sinister doppelg?nger invading a girl's life by up-and-coming comics star Emily Carroll; Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier's comedy of wizarding errors and online bidding wars; and Rad Sechrist's romp involving a teenage girl, an introduction to the basics of Shintoism, and a manic butter thief driving a grandma to the brink. So, don't hesitate. Come and open the box. You'll be amazed. You'll be entertained. You'll be scared. And then you'll want to read each story over again!

LOST ISLANDS NEW PTG

EXPLORER SC VOL 02 LOST ISLANDS NEW PTG

Edited by the New York Times bestselling comics creator Kazu Kibuishi, The Lost Islands offers a collection of seven all-new stories written and illustrated by an award-winning roster of comics artists, with each story centered around the theme of hidden places. This graphic anthology includes well-written, beautifully illustrated stories by: Kibuishi Kazu (the Amulet series) Jason Caffoe (the Flight series) Raina Telgemeier (Drama and Smile) Dave Roman (the Astronaut Academy series) Jake Parker (the Missile Mouse series) Michel Gagn? (The Saga of Rex) Katie and Steven Shanahan (the Flight series) And up-and-coming artist Chrystin Garland All seven author/artists tie their scary or exhilarating nautical adventures to metaphorical underpinnings. Captain Ahab-like obsession with catching the big one leads a sailor into a cave that is really a giant mouth. One young castaway meets a crab ghost. Another meets someone she never expected to see: an older version of herself. A young island girl is lured to join tiki-masked celebrants who turn out to be dead. Beautifully drawn, each artist works in a different style, but all share humor, suspense, and a buoyant tone. Young readers will be entertained, and maybe a little scared, by this one-of-a-kind, alone-on-an-island tales of mystery and magic.
