Bøker av Mark Tatulli

Perfect for fans of Real Friends and All's Faire in Middle School, a new full-color graphic novel about growing up and growing apart - and monster hunting - from Mark Tatulli, the syndicated comic artist and creator of Lio.

The world of Lio is filled with the extraordinary—monsters under the bed, wild reptile pets, robot inventions, weird science—but it’s all commonplace for this most uncommon young man. Mark Tatulli renders this pantomime strip in pen-and-ink style, giving the artwork a dark, spidery feel to match the strip’s dark humor. Lio explores the twisted realm of a kid’s imagination—at once bizarre, creepy, and fun. Now, in this collection edited specially for kids, Lio is available to his most dedicated fans.
