Ross Molloy just wants to be normal. He doesn't want to lose his
hair, or wear a weird hat, or deal with the disappearing friends
who don't know what to say to 'the cancer kid'. But with his recent
diagnosis of a rare eye cancer, simply blending in is no longer an
option. Ross - and his friends and his family - all need to work
out how to deal with this devastating challenge that Life has
thrown down. Maybe Batpig can come to the rescue?
Based on Rob
Harrell's own real life experience with eye cancer, and including
amazing comic-strip artwork, this poignant and authentic novel is
unforgettable, hilarious and uplifting.
With great porker comes great responsibility. Gary Yorkshire is
finally getting into the swing of this whole superhero thing -
saving the world from terrible villains, masterfully concealing his
identity with a very small mask. But what happens when Batpig is
called to battle time itself in a maths class that just won't end?
Or when the city is attacked by something completely (and
literally) out of this world? It's not easy being a super-swine,
but with the help of his best friends Brook the bat and Carl the
fish, there's no hamburglar they can't catch. A brilliantly funny
and skilfully rendered commercial young graphic novel series, with
each book containing two separate stories.
Superswines, assemble! Gary Yorkshire and his friends, Carl the
fish and Brooklyn the bat, are facing what might be their piggest
mission yet: magical sharks – and summer camp! First there’s
the sudden appearance of Sharkraham Lincoln (half shark! half
president!), who sets off a major test cheating scandal. And then,
at the worryingly named Camp Whomp-a-Pig, Gary’s hoping to
finally get a break from superhero-ing, but a grumpy lake monster
isn't letting this sleeping pig lie. Will Batpig ever catch a break
to just relax and enjoy a tasty sandwich, and not have to save the
world? The third book in a brilliantly funny and skilfully rendered
commercial young graphic novel series, with two separate stories in
each book.
Some pigs are born great, other pigs have greatness thrust upon
them. BATPIG follows the amazing, porktastic adventures of Gary
Yorkshire - an entirely normal piglet whose world is turned upside
down when he's bitten by his friend, Brooklyn the bat, and develops
the power of flight! And what could Gary do with this newfound
talent other than become a superhero? Alternating between Batpig's
origin story and a furious and hilarious battle with his nemesis,
Repto-Man, this is a brilliantly funny and skilfully rendered
commercial young graphic novel series, with each book containing
two separate stories. Perfect for fans of Dav Pilkey and John
Patrick Green.
In this epic graphic novel featuring the world's most heroic
super-swine, Batpig's fame is growing . . . and so are the
supervillains he's facing at school and camp Gary Yorkshire and his
friends, Carl and Brooklyn, are up against what might be their
scariest missions yet: Magical, presidential sharks and summer
camp! First there's the sudden appearance of Sharkraham Lincoln
(Half shark! Half 16th President!), who sets off a major test
cheating scandal. And then at Camp Moldy Snout (not a great
start!), Gary's hoping for a laid back, chill summer with his
friends, but shifting friendship dynamics make that harder than
expected . . . and so does the grumpy lake monster. Will Batpig
ever catch a break to just relax and enjoy a tasty sandwich?
Introducing a supremely hilarious graphic novel featuring an
unstoppable, super-swine hero who boldly fights for justice . . .
in between taking mud baths and eating tasty sandwiches. Gary
Yorkshire was your perfectly average, fuzzy pink pig who loved
tasty sandwiches, video games, mud baths, and hanging out with his
friends Carl the fish and Brooklyn the bat. Until one day . . . a
radioactive bat bite gives him powers he never would have dreamed
of! Inspired by his old Crimson Swine comics, Gary decides that
he'll use his powers for good and becomes (drumroll) Batpig! Now he
just needs a good zinger of a Batpig slogan, a spandex costume that
flatters his rear end . . . and maybe a little advice about how in
the world to defeat supervillains?
In this hilarious, hijinks-filled graphic novel super-swine Batpig
is ready to face even bigger bullies, harder fights, and scariest
of all-meeting his superhero idol. Ordinary pig, Gary Yorkshire,
has his entire life turned upside down when a bite on the nose from
a radioactive bat turns him into . . . BATPIG. With the support of
his best friends, Brooklyn the bat and Carl the fish, he finally
feels like he's getting a handle on this whole superhero business.
That is, until he faces a battle against time itself, when an
underappreciated janitor slows down the clock so much that a math
class never ever ends (the horror!). Can Batpig save the class from
never-ending fractions?

Top Shelf is proud to announce the arrival of Rob Harrell, creator
of the syndicated comic strip Big Top, and his first graphic novel
series, Monster on the Hill. In a fantastical 1860s England, every
quiet little township is terrorized by a ferocious monster - much
to the townsfolk's delight! Each town's unique monster is a source
of local pride, not to mention tourism. Each town, that is...
except for one. Unfortunately, for the people of Stoker-on-Avon,
their monster isn't quite as impressive. In fact, he's a little
down in the dumps. Can the morose Rayburn get a monstrous makeover
and become a proper horror? It's up to the eccentric Dr. Charles
Wilkie and plucky street urchin Timothy to get him up to snuff,
before a greater threat turns the whole town to kindling! Monsters
of all ages are sure to enjoy this tale about life's challenges,
the power of friendship, and creative redemption, packed with epic
battles and plenty of wild beasts! "Really fun, goofy, extremely
silly fantasy for readers of all ages, crying out for reviewers and
critics to make appalling puns of the 'monstrously good' variety."
-- Neil Gaiman

Come one! Come all . . . to the exciting world of Big Top! Rob
Harrell's three-ring comic strip has already packed the house with
fans eager for his hilarious take on the circus and those who bring
it to life.
The circus and its colorful cast-led by 10-year-old Pete and his
happily reformed performing bear, Wink-are a perfect metaphor for
life. It's not always what happens on the surface, Big Top reminds
us, but what takes place backstage that delivers the lessons and
the humor. Pete and Wink keep plenty of odd company, including
Kingston, coolest king of the jungle; Stucco, a mute clown who
still manages to make his point; Manfred, the bookish monkey;
Dusty, the wisecracking tell-it-like-it-is trained poodle; Andrea,
the new acrobat girl who's caught Pete's eye; and Hairy Mary the
Bearded Lady, a mother figure to them all.
Take this crew on the road and you get an endless array of
situations and relationships, care and impatience, honesty and
intolerance. It's like one big Big Top family . . . one that
welcomes all readers for the mere price of a ticket.
