Lions, Tigers & Bears
lions, tigers and bears coverLearned about a fasinating new comic coming out from Runemaster Studios. Titled Lions, Tigers & Bears it stars a young boy named Joey and his discovery that the stuffed animals on his bed do much more than just provide him with something soft and fuzzy to hug while drifting off to sleep.

The comic was created by Mike Bullock with gorgeous artwork by Jack Lawrence. It is an all to rare all-ages comic that I am eager to share with Ian and Emma.

What I've read about the comic leads me to believe it's tapping into that same magical and mythical realm that made The Chronicles of Narina so enjoyable for me as a kid. As writer Bullock puts it in an interview, “Lions, Tigers & Bears focuses on nine-year-old Joey Price and his four favorite stuffed animals, Pallo, Ares, Venus and Minerva. The hidden truth is that these companions have been defending children since the dawn of time. Follow young Joey on the adventure of a lifetime as he travels through the Stuffed Animal Kingdom, a journey that puts the fate of all the world's children in his hands and brings him face to face with his destiny."

Ian and Emma are two young to read The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, but they might enjoy having me read this comic to them before bed. In a couple years we can graduate to "chapter books."

Take a look at some preview art of Lions, Tigers & Bears and learn more about the characters. And know that I will let you know when this comic is available for purchase.
