Image Comics And Giant Generator Announce Fantasy Adventure Graphic Novel ‘The Terrific Teacups’
by Olly MacNamee
Writer Rick Remender (The Sacrificers, Grommets, Deadly Class) and cartoonist Farel Dalrymple (The Wrenchies, Pop Gun War) have a rather fantastical hardback graphic novel, entitled The Terrific Teacups, coming from Image Comics this October.
“Told in the style of classic fantasy epics like Little Nemo and Howl’s Moving Castle, the Terrific Teacups story promises to enchant and delight readers of every age. This gorgeously rendered, fully-painted story will be available in a paperback edition as well as a limited print run, deluxe, show-stopping hardcover edition.
During another mundane, grey day in London Jungle, siblings Dennis and Dade discover that the world was once a bright and cheerful place, and that the heroes of their favorite book, The Terrific Teacups, were more than merely works of fiction—they were the pachyderm pair that kept the city safe from the nefarious creatures who now rule it. Now the daring siblings must find a way to bring their heroes back and restore beauty and color to a world that has forgotten it.”
Speaking with CBR Remender stated:
“Farel is one of the most innovative artists in the world today. It has long been a dream to get to create something personal together, and there is nothing more personal than the Terrific Teacup stories I told my kids as they grew up. Seeing him lovingly paint these characters into existence has been one of the greatest joys of my career and the result is this phenomenal book.”
Dalrymple added:
“Getting to play around with the vibrant worlds and exciting characters Rick creates has been a dream of mine since we first met, nearly 20 years ago. I believe we’ve managed to create a unique, moving, and cool book, and something readers of all ages will enjoy.”
The Terrific Teacups original graphic novel will be out on Wednesday, October 10th and in book stores on Tuesday, October 21st from Image Comics/Giant Generator.
