BODIE TROLL GRAPHIC NOVEL

BOOM! Studios has announced an August 2020 release for Bodie Troll: Hungry for Adventure, an original graphic novel set in the world created by Jay P. Fogsitt.

Here's how BOOM! describes the book:

"Return to Hagadorn with an all-new original graphic novel featuring the friendliest (and, in his eyes, the fearsomest) troll around, Bodie! Get ready to join Bodie, his Fairy Godmother, and his best pal Cholly, as their adventures lead them to learn about Cholly's past, uncover the mystery of the new bridge in town, and meet a group of creatures looking to destroy the world -- through hugs."

"I am thrilled to continue my grumpy little troll's exploits in Bodie Troll: Hungry For Adventure," Fosgitt said. "I crammed so much character, adventure, drama and silliness into the first book that so many continuing adventures -- along with brand new ones -- have spilled over and filled this new graphic novel.

"I still hold fond memories of being read to as a little kid, and so many parents have told me how Bodie Troll has become required bedtime reading so I created Hungry for Adventure with the intent of inspiring the sweetest and goofiest dreams a kid, or their parents, could have. Bodie Troll takes classic fairy tale tropes and manages to milk humor and heart out of them while still paying respect to such classic stories, so it's fun for the storybook fan in all of us, be they long time readers, or open young minds with a heart for adventure."



LEGENDARY'S THE WITCHES OF SILVERLAKE

Legendary Comics has announced a new graphic novel, The Witches of Silverlake, from singer-songwriter and actor Simon Curtis, with art by Stephanie Son, set for release in early 2021.

Here's how Legendary describes the book:

"The original story follows Elliot Green, who, after his dad dies, moves across country to Los Angeles where his mother has accepted the position of Vice Principal at one of the most prestigious private schools and where he is currently enrolled. He is quickly taken in by the school's outcasts -- the scholarship kids, the queer kids, and the ones who just don't fit in with the glossy trust fund babies -- and they let him in on their little secret: they're witches. He ventures out into the world of crystal stores and occult shops in Silverlake, until one fateful day, he encounters an elderly shop owner who delivers a prophecy, warning him not to tap too deeply into real magic. The next morning, as Elliot and his coven use a stolen initiation candle to cast a spell to activate their abilities, they unknowing open a gate, unleashing a magic that is powerful, real, and might be even more dangerous than they could have possibly imagined."

"Simon has created a fun and unique story for this graphic novel that is filled with magical high-school adventures set right here in Los Angeles' neighborhood of Silverlake," said editor Nikita Kannekanti. "I am thrilled to be working with Simon and Stephanie to tell this engaging story featuring a witchy and endearing cast of misfits."

"I am beyond thrilled to be working with Legendary to bring these characters to life," Curtis said. "Elliot and his coven of queer, teen witches are everything I've always dreamed of seeing in pop culture, and I'm so excited to have a company with such incredible vision as eager as I am to tell a story of the magic of otherness."
