Oo de lolly! One of the perennial favorite furry movies finally gets a new comic book tie-in series as Dynamite Comics brings us Disney’s Robin Hood. New adventures of the rascally fox in merry old England, written by Nate Cosby and Greg Weisman — the latter famous as the creator of Disney’s Gargoyles. The art is by Alessandro Ranaldi, the illustrator of Dynamite’s current Zootopia comic series. The first issue is due in November, but already there are sample pages, character studies, and front cover variations over at Bleeding Cool.

Recently we came across Thorn the Unicorn, a fantasy graphic novel series for young readers, written by Josh Oaktree (of Oak Tree Comics) and illustrated by A. D’Amico. Here’s the story in a nutshell: “When best friends Jack and Rosie discover an injured unicorn in the Fayre Woods, they risk their lives to come to her aid. Ruthless Lord Aldred and his guard of hunters are desperate to capture the elusive unicorn — anything to find a cure for the mysterious disease that plagues the land of Faerie. Can Jack and Rosie keep Thorn the unicorn safe, or will the Kingdom of the Seven Tapestries continue unraveling until there is no magic left to protect?” Now the tale has been gathered together in paperback.

Recently discovered at QCon: Plain Jane and the Mermaid, a new-ish graphic novel by Eisner Award winner Vera Brosgol. “Jane is incredibly plain. Everyone says so: Her parents, the villagers, and her horrible cousin who kicks her out of her own house. Determined to get some semblance of independence, Jane prepares to propose to the princely Peter. It’s a good plan! Or it would’ve been, if he wasn’t kidnapped by a mermaid. Jane must venture underwater to rescue her maybe-fiancé. But the depths of the ocean hold beautiful mysteries and dangerous creatures. What good can a plain Jane do? Drawn into an unexpected bond, Jane must navigate a shifting reality where magic and danger intertwine, and where every choice carries weight. As she moves between two worlds, she begins to question what she truly wants—and what she’s willing to risk to find it.” Did we mention the talking seal? We should. Plain Jane is available in paperback from First Second. There’s a detailed review over at Comics Beat, too.

More non-human superhero shenanigans in the eXpets series of graphic novels by Mark Tatulli. “Bosco the dog loves being a house pet, loves his comfy dog bed and nice big house and, of course, his favorite toy kitty. So when two burglars break in, Bosco defends his home with all his might, which includes releasing some well-timed—and near supersonic—stink that repels the would-be thieves. With his foes in retreat, Bosco thinks it’s all over…until a robot descends from the sky. The flying robot delivers Bosco to the city and tells him that, due to his unusual ‘abilities’, he’s been chosen to become one of the eXpets, a team of superheroes with extraordinary abilities who team up to solve problems of all sizes. Bosco would be joining a turtle mastermind, a laser-eyed kitty, Wonder-Guppy, and Ginormous Gerbil. The mission? Rescuing the world’s kittens, who have all gone mysteriously missing. Bosco isn’t sure he’s all that extraordinary and certainly doesn’t enjoy tasks with a lot of pressure. But…how can he turn his back on kittens?!” Find out more at Simon & Schuster.

Froggy Went A’Filin’

Check out The Froggy Library, a new full-color graphic novel written and illustrated by Julie Fiveash. “Anura is a young frog spending the summer back home with their grandmother. With some…er…gentle prodding from Grandma, they get a job working at the local library. It’s about 11 minutes in when they’re tasked with a big project: Create an archive that captures what makes Soggy Stump so special. What the heck even is an archive?! And so begins a summer full of fry bread, weaving, zines, community gardens, manga, and (maybe) an answer to the question of: How do we preserve the knowledge, wisdom, and memories of the ones we love?” This semi-autobiographical story is a celebration of indigenous communities, gender fluidity, and of course libraries.

Still Lurking About

Many years ago, the writer and artist Patrick Scullin got on the radar of many furry fans with his illustrated steampunk adventure Pandamonium: Death of a King. Well, it turns out he’s still around, teaching graphic arts at Riverside City College in California — and, still finding time to make comics, some of them definitely furry! Ninja Pig, for instance, goes like this: “In a land where loyalty is sacred and betrayal is death, a noble samurai’s life is cut short  — not in war, but by the hand of a jealous brother-in-arms. But this warrior’s story doesn’t end with the blade. Through forbidden mystic arts, his soul survives — transferred into the body of the nearest living vessel: A humble, wallowing pig.” Then in a sillier vein, there’s Stray: Toaster Trouble. “The tale of a stray coyote and his band of misfit pets as they defend their suburban backyard with humor and heart from enemies foreign and domesticated.” Find both of these and more at the artist’s official web site.

Another graphic novel series for young folks, with a welcome message of self-acceptance. That’s the Shark Princess series, written and illustrated by Nidhi Chanani. “Meet Kitana—a Shark Princess and the first of her kind. Her allergy-ridden best friend Mack wants to be one too, but he worries that his sharp teeth and big sneezes make him too dangerous to be a princess. With Kitana’s help, Mack realizes his unique shine. When Mack puts on his crown for the first time, these Shark Princesses are ready to explore the ocean and embark on a fintastic adventure! Nidhi Chanani’s signature artwork brings this underwater series to life in a spunky tale about friendship and redefining who and what a princess can be.” Shark Princess and its sequels are available from Penguin Random House.
