Description

Explorer is an exciting anthology of short graphic works by established artists and innovative newcomers in the comic and animation fields, who have each created a unique story on a central theme: a mysterious box and the marvels, or mayhem, inside. Collected and edited by Kazu Kibuishi these well-written, beautifully illustrated stories reflect a range of styles from the humerous to the fantastic. Explorer will appeal to young adult readers already in touch with the comics world and warmly invite in the more reluctant readers of this age group.
