Reds Planet, an intergalactic graphic novel fantasy series from awardwinning cartoonist Eddie Pittman (writer/story artist for Disneys hit TV series Phineas and Ferb), is a nonstop adventure with a unique cast of characters unlike any youve ever seen before. Meet Red, a quirky, headstrong 10yearold who longs to live in her own perfect paradise far away from her annoying foster family. But when a UFO mistakenly kidnaps her, Red finds herself farther away than she could have possibly imaginedacross the galaxy and aboard an enormous spaceship owned by the Aquilari, an ancient creature with a taste for rare and unusual treasures. Before Red can be discovered as a stowaway, the great ship crashes on a small deserted planet, leaving her marooned with a menagerie of misfit aliens. With her newfound friend, a small gray alien named Tawee, Red must find a way to survive the hostile castaways, evade the ravenous wildlife, and contend with Goose, the planets grumpy, felinoid custodian. Surely this cant be the paradise shes been hoping for. Fans of Mike Maihacks Cleopatra in Space and Ben Hatkes Zita the Spacegirl will embrace Reds Planet, a boldly illustrated and imaginative new series for readers of all ages. Fun, sharp, hilarious, and riproaringly original! Jeff Smith, Bone The only thing thats missing is seeing Reds Planet on my bookshelf sandwiched between Jeff Smiths Bone and my library of Pixar Films. Mike Maihack, Cleopatra in Space Reds Planet is a fantastic and fun journey for young readers, but its also a great trip down memory lane for their parents. The story weaves together a lot of the fun stories we watched and read in the 80s and 90s and spins them into something new. Kazu Kibuishi, creator of Amulet, Flight, and Explorer Filled with genuine sense of childlike awe and style of story, art, and filmmaking reminiscent of Jeff Smiths Bone. Eddie Pittman really has the goods. Dan Povenmire, cocreator of Disneys Phineas and Ferb A meeting of everything that is great about comic books...incredible art, spellbinding storytelling, rich characters, fun, adventure, humor...and heart.
