Graphic Novels

There's something about inanimate objects coming to life that excites, scares and thrills adults and children alike, and this latest plot outline for a new graphic novel will not disappoint (see below)!

The scarecrow competition is great fun until someone tampers with them, and the scarecrows are hard-wired to attack humans! It seems it's up to Josh and Will to save the day!

Author Ian Macdonald and talented illustrator Mark Penman work together to create a fearsome graphic novel that will thrill even the most reluctant of readers!

Late one night Finn's game console starts to go horribly wrong (he spills his fizzy drink over the console). It shoots out a ray of blue light that captures Finn and transports him back into Kane Stryker's world - only this time it's for real!

Illustrator, Amit Tayal, injects a sense of action, fear and suspense in this initial cover idea for Roger Hurn's gripping graphic novel!

Will Finn ever make it back to reality? Find out in January when our 6 graphic novels will be published!

Illustrator, Mark Penman, has given us a sneak preview into the early stages of his illustrative cover creations for The Head is Dead, before and after colour. The full colour and shading really bring to life the illustration, making the earlier 2D version 3D in an instant!

When a practical joke goes wrong and kills the Head Teacher during detention - a trio of friends only have two options: own up to the accident and face their punishment, or use the contents of the science lab to bring the Head Teacher back to life before anyone finds out. Guess which one they choose...

We've got doodles on the brain with news of our upcoming graphic novels! These new titles are far from sketchy, (we will stop with the puns soon, promise!), featuring amazing artwork and compelling stories. The combination of colour images and exciting plots will be more than enough to keep your high interest, low reading age students perusing for hours.

To give you just a small taster of the big stories we have in store for your pupils, these titles will feature all kinds of fantastical scenarios, including living scarecrows, being transported into a video game and a demon school bus! In addition to these fast-paced adventures, we also have a graphic novel featuring a classic creature reworked and re-imagined like never before...

Oh, we forgot to mention the story where genetically modified ants take over the world!
