Hear ye, hear ye! The town of Elmore has always been home to
wacky adventures, but this November, things get downright magical in The
Amazing World of Gumball: Fairy Tale Trouble, the very first original graphic
novel about Gumball and his pals coming from KaBOOM!, the award-winning
all-ages imprint of publisher BOOM! Studios, and Cartoon Network Enterprises,
the licensing and merchandising arm of the network. The creative team of Megan
Brennan (Peanuts: A Tribute to Charles M. Schulz) and Katy Farina (Adventure
Time) dive into the mixed-media world of The Amazing World of Gumball for this
full-length story starring Gumball, Darwin, and Anais, with a back-up story by
Jeremy Lawson (Prez).
“We’ve had such a great time with the Wattersons in comics,
and now we’re very excited to present the first original graphic novel for The
Amazing World of Gumball,” said BOOM! Studios President of Publishing and
Marketing Filip Sablik. “Gumball has always had a penchant for getting into
mischief, and Megan and Katy are the perfect team to capture that with a dash
of magic.”
It’s a beautiful day for a Renaissance Faire, and the
Watterson family is having a blast taking in ye olde fun and games...until a
magician’s illusion turns into a real spell, and all of Elmore is cast into a
fairy-tale world of quests, danger, and magical adventures! Can Wizard Darwin,
Knight Anais, and Jester Gumball save Richard from his everlasting,
turkey-leg-induced sleep, or will the citizens of Elmore remain trapped in the
Middle Ages forever?
Created by Ben Bocquelet and produced by Cartoon Network
Development Studio Europe, The Amazing World of Gumball has received high
critical praise since its debut in 2011, having won several British Academy
Children’s Awards and earning nominations in the Annie Awards.
The Amazing World of Gumball: Fairy Tale Trouble original
graphic novel (6" x 9", 160 pages, full color, softcover) arrives in
comic shops on November 25th and in bookstores December 1st with a cover by
Katy Farina for the price of $14.99.
