Owly: Helping Hands

Free Comic Book Day: Owly #2007

by Andy Runton, Christian Slade

Top Shelf is proud to join the 2007 FREE COMIC BOOK DAY celebration with not one, but TWO all-ages tales. First, from the fan-favorite series, OWLY by Andy Runton, comes the all-new story "Helping Hands." Springtime has arrived, and Owly must use his past to help a new friend face her fears. Following that is a special bonus -- the first appearance of the new all-ages series KORGI by Christian Slade. The first volume of the KORGI graphic novel series will hit stores simultaneously with the Free Comic Book Day Book, and "Sprout's Lost Cookie" will give readers their first glimpse of this gorgeously illustrated woodland fantasy about a young girl Ivy, her dog Sprout, and their amazing adventures in Korgi Hollow. This is a special 2-in-1 package that everyone will want to read and save. Perfect for the kid in all of us.
