IDW Publishing and Mattel has announced a first-ever line of American Girl original graphic novels, featuring all-new mysteries based on American Girl’s beloved historical characters and original modern-day characters, plus a reimagining of the fan-favorite historical introductory “Meet” books.
The first graphic novel release, Julie and the Blue Guitar: An American Girl Mystery, arrives on June 25, 2024. Written by Casey Gilly and illustrated by Felia Hanakata, Julie and the Blue Guitar: An American Girl Mystery will revolve around Emma Dhillon in 2024 as she befriends Julie Albright through her journal from 1977 and uncovers a mystery in Julie’s time. Weaving together two storylines from different eras, this original graphic novel will see the modern girl and historical character join forces to make a difference today.
Arriving in 2025 will be Meet Josefina (February), and Isabel and Nicki versus the Bigfoot Bandit: American Girl Mysteries Across Time (July).
