Storm King Comics has announced that the publishing house’s middle-grade graphic novel Fetch: Book One the Journey will become available for purchase on February 8, 2023. The Greek mythological fantasy story will be published under the John Carpenter Presents Storm Kids imprint.
Scribed by Mike Sizemore and illustrated by artist Dave Kennedy, with colors by Pete Kennedy and letters by Janice Chiang, Fetch: Book One: The Journey kicks off the 2023 slate of the John Carpenter Presents Storm Kids imprint. The release coincides with the 10th anniversary of Storm King Comics.
Fetch: Book One: The Journey follows 12-year-old Danni, who is struggling to get over the loss of her dog, Pirate. At school, a friendly new teacher lends her an old school book that reveals to her the world of Greek mythology. Intrigued by the stories, Danni devours the book, stumbling across an illustration that looks familiar…She leaves the house in the dead of night, seeking out what she thinks could be the gate to Hades, the Greek Underworld, and perhaps a way to bring her dog back to the land of the living.
What Danni didn’t expect was that her younger brother, Sammy, would sneakily follow her to tag along or that once in the Underworld she’d need a guide…her pick being the legendary Odysseus. On the flip side, two 21st century kids on a quest to save their dead dog was the last thing Odysseus was expecting. Adventuring in the Underworld since the fall of Troy, Odysseus is the last of his kind, a true Hero. But with enemies leaping on them at every turn and monsters and gods to overcome, this may be his toughest odyssey yet!
Fetch: Book One: The Journey will be available Feb 8th at comic shops and digitally online at GlobalComix. It will be available at book stores Feb 21st.
