Hands on with Looga and Barooga!

Last week we announced the release of two new Looga and Barooga young reader comic books, written by Robin, illustrated by Zak Simmonds-Hurn and published by Oxford University Press as part of their Story Sparks series.

Well now you can get a good peek inside, as we've taken delivery of copies of the international edition to share with you all.

So, without further ado, here's the good stuff.

The Treasure of Soap Island and The Day the Sky Went BOOM! are available now from all manner of online retailers. Perfect for those little readers that are just setting out on their own adventures!

Looga and Barooga Fan Art Week Part 1

YES! The Looga and Barooga books by Robin and Zak are OUT NOW,  and to celebrate, I wanted to doodle some pics of the series' heroes, so let's start with them chilling in an epic tree house, posing by a duck-faced galleon, and riding on the back of weird dinosaur...

The Looga has landed! It's new Comic Book day!

Happy Thursday to you all!

It's always a pleasure to usher a new comic into the world ... but it's a lot more fun to present you with TWO on the same day.  Or better still, because our esteemed friend and artistic legend Jamie Smart has produced multiple titles for the same imprint, FOUR NEW COMIC BOOKS!!!

Let's hear it for the Oxford University Press Story Sparks fiction series! WHOOP WHOOP!

So what's this all about, you say, and how can you get your mitts on the good stuff?

Well, the OUP Story Sparks range features epic, fun adventures created for young readers.  They feature characters and tales to inspire and excite, all tailored to specific reading levels.  Basically, if you've a child aged between four and six years old and you want to get them excited about books and literacy - BUY THEM ALL!  What makes the list particularly exciting is that OUP chose to include a number of comic books in the series, and that's where WE come in.
 

The Looga and Barooga books are my brainchild, with stellar artistic duties from the one and only Zak Simmonds-Hurn.  He's a legend with pen, pencil or tablet and the results show on every panel and page of our two-book series.  I'm always amazed at how much fun Zak can cram into a spread and never more so than here.  Our books are all about overcoming your fears, while marveling at the world through the eyes of an imaginative child ... who happens to have a large monster for a best friend. Obviously.

And then there's Jamie Smart's series, Superhero Bunny League. I mean ... come on ... look at these gems!!!

Do I need to even say anything about Jamie? His creations are always monstrously appealing, insanely funny and just, well, just plain ace. The Superhero Bunny League books look set to continue his phenomenal tradition of giving kids the very best comics possible. And making it look easy in the process!

All four books are available NOW from OUP directly, or from Amazon or any number of online retailers.

Go on, gift the gift of adventure to your nippers. They'll love you for it!

Something wicked(ly fun) this way comes...

... and it's going to make you feel like this!

Keep your eyes peeled this Thursday for the full announcement.

Ooooooh, sneaky...
