ACTION LAB'S THE ADVENTURES OF MICKEY & MAJ
Action Lab Entertainment has released imagery and details from The Adventures of Mickey & Maj, an 88-page graphic novel from Rick Lundeen due in stores on Oct. 23.
"Millennia ago, The Weaver began creating magic carpets. Woven with enchanted threads, these sentient beings of floor-ware could fly at incredible speeds, travel into space and pierce the barriers of time itself," Lundeen sadi. "These beings spread throughout the universe. One was named Majestic and ended up in the attic of 7-year-old Mickey Hawthorne. This is the day they met, the day Maj decided to show this kid the universe.
"Think one part Doctor Who, one part Calvin and Hobbes, and sprinkle in some Harry Potter. This is Mickey & Maj."
Action Lab has released a 16-page preview.
"Mickey & Maj deals with traveling through time, space and different dimensions," Lundee said. "But even with that grand scope, it's still about a kid and his magic carpet. They become fast friends and deal with both danger and comedy. It's also a book that, while aimed more at kids and the middle school crowd, doesn't talk down to them. In fact, with each story, the stakes are upped, as is the drama. Good for the whole family, which is a big part of why I created them."
