Bodie Troll Returns In New Original Graphic Novel In August 2020
by James Ferguson
Bodie Troll, the lovable friendly troll from creator Jay Fosgitt is returning for another adventure in August 2020 in Bodie Troll: Hungry for Adventure. Boom! Studios will release the all new original graphic novel that delivers a fantasy adventure for the whole family that deals with growing and evolving friendship and the power of embracing what makes people unique.
The new OGN follows Bodie, his Fairy Godmother, and his best friend Cholly as they learn about Cholly’s past, uncover the mystery of the new bridge in town, and meet a group of creatures that want to destroy the world…with hugs.
Creator Jay Fosgitt says:
I am thrilled to continue my grumpy little troll’s exploits in Bodie Troll: Hungry for Adventure! I crammed so much character, adventure, drama and silliness into the first book that so many continuing adventures (along with brand new ones) have spilled over and filled this new graphic novel. I still hold fond memories of being read to as a little kid, and so many parents have told me how Bodie Troll has become required bedtime reading so I created Hungry for Adventure with the intent of inspiring the sweetest and goofiest dreams a kid, or their parents, could have. Bodie Troll takes classic fairy tale tropes and manages to milk humor and heart out of them while still paying respect to such classic stories, so it’s fun for the storybook fan in all of us, be they long time readers, or open young minds with a heart for adventure.
Bodie Troll: Hungry for Adventure will be published under Boom! Studios’ KaBoom! imprint geared toward middle grade and younger readers.
Chris Rosa, Editor, Boom! Studios added:
Bodie is back—with even more fun, humor, and hijinx than ever! Fans of the grumpy but hilarious little troll’s misadventures are in for a treat as Jay brings a brand new story that’ll have readers young and old laughing at all of the trouble Bodie manages to get into. Also, we’ll get to see even more of the world in which Bodie, Cholly, and their friends have their daily adventures, discovering never-before-seen lands and a whole new part of Bodie’s past.
Bodie Troll: Hungry for Adventure is due out in August 2020.
