If you have a twisted, off-kilter and slightly oddball perspective of life then do I have the books for you.
Capstone/Stone Arch Books puts traditional fairy tales on their collective ear with its Far Out Fairy Tales Graphic Novels.
Vampires, magic, zombies and other assorted supernatural beings and objects update the tales and add whole new, clever twists to the stories.
Goldilocks And The Three Vampires sinks its teeth into a whole new interpretation of the beloved fairy tale.
This time Goldilocks is an explorer who discovers a treasure filled tomb and some cantankerous vampires as well. That bites! Text and art are courtesy of Laurie S. Sutton and C.S. Jennings.
Sleeping Beauty is a Magic Master as she goes on a magical quest to obtain strange and rare ingredients to concoct a cure for her sleeping subjects.
Stephanie True Peters and Alex Lopez provide the story and art. It’s magical!
Benjamin Harper and Fernando Cano pit Hansel & Gretel & Zombies against a evil witch with her nefarious tourist trap for the hungry zombie family.
Jak And The Magic Nano-beans by Carl Bowen and Omar Lozano goes hi-tech in a tale where Jak travels to the Cloud Kingdom with his robot Cow to obtain some nano-beans.
It’s a techno, terrific tale!
All four Far Out Fairy Tales books also contain helpful glossaries and feature delightful full-color cartoons and easy-t0-read text perfect for youngsters.
There are other classic Far Out Fairy Tales also available.
If you’re a comic book reader like myself you’re sure to get a kick out of Capstone/Stone Arch Books’ DC Comics kids novels written so kids can easily understand them and drawn to look like Warner Bros. classic animated superhero TV shows.
Besides looking cool the books are a whole new way to appreciate and collect DC Comics superheroes.
They may be created for kids but DC Comic Book collectors are sure to love them too.
Here is just a small sampling of new DC Comics based titles available.
Batman Tales Of The Batcave, both by Michael Dahl with art provided by Luciano Vecchio pit the Caped Crusader against Catwoman in The Jaguar’s Jewel and Mr. Freeze in The Frozen Zone Freeze Ray.
There are hundreds of crime trophies in the Batcave. In these two books learn how the Jaguar’s Jewel and the Freeze Ray wound up on display.
In You Choose Batman The Lazarus Plan and Batman Clayface Returns readers get to choose over ten possible endings for each tale. Will Batman and Robin and Nightwing survive? It’s all up to you.
Writer John Sazaklis artist Ethen Beavers provide two terrific tales that will keep readers guessing and at the edge of their seats.
The Dark Knight series offer two books: Batman Fights The Joker Virus and Batman And The Killer Croc Of Doom!
Can Batman defeat the Crown Prince of Crime and the reptilian monstrosity in two encounters that test Batman’s skill and strength to their limit?
Laurie S. Sutton, Luciano Vecchio, Scott Peterson and Mike Cavallaro provide the story and art.
It’s classic Batman versus his Rogue’s Gallery at its best!
Luciano Vecchio provides the art for four Batman & Robin Adventures where the Dynamic Duo are pitted against The Scarecrow (Nightmare Maze), Clayface (Slime Spree), Two-Face (Face-Off) and The Riddler (Battleship Blitz).
J.E. Bright and Laurie S. Hutton provide the stories.
Witness Batman and Robin rescue some teenagers, squelch a double set of crimes, retrieve some stolen hi-tech weapons and battle war museum arsenals!
All of the Batman books feature glossaries and other literary aids for kids.
