SHERMAN'S ROOM

After Hours Press has announced a September release of Sherman's Room, a comic book about a little boy who escapes the reality of life in the fantasy world of his vivid imagination.

The all-ages, black-and-white book is written and illustrated by award-winning comic creator Chris Eliopoulos. The story shows how little Sherman escapes into his personal fantasy world with space aliens, superheroes and other surreal creations to get away from his overbearing family.

In the real world, Sherman is pressured by his parents and picked on by his sister. Yet in his bedroom, Sherman is like a superhero with limitless power.

"This is the comic book that children and parents can read and enjoy together," said Eliopoulos, a father of two. "The comics strips are short, so it is perfect bedtime reading."
