INTRO TO ALIEN INVASION by Owen King, Mark Jude Poirier, & Nancy Ahn - SIGNED FIRST EDITION TRADE PAPER GRAPHIC NOVEL
In this wildly entertaining collaboration, novelists Owen King and
Mark Jude Poirier team up with illustrator Nancy Ahn to present a
wickedly funny graphic novel about an alien invasion on a college
campus.
Stacey, a brilliant, overachieving astrobiology major at
Fenton College, had planned on just another lonely Spring Break on
campus. But when a hurricane batters the small college town, downing
power lines and knocking out cell phone reception, Stacey and her
friends are stranded with no way to communicate with the outside world
at the worst possible moment: in the midst of an alien invasion.
As
space insects begin to burrow into students and staff, transforming
them into slobbering, babbling monsters, a conglomeration of misfits
must band together to prevent the infestation from spreading. Meanwhile,
Stacey’s long-stifled romantic feelings for her friend Charlotte begin
to surface, while the professor she had admired and respected becomes
the students’ worst enemy.
Illustrated with enormous wit and
dynamism—mixing classic tropes from science fiction, indie comics,
B-movies, and campus culture—this graphic novel is something different, a
large-scale action/adventure story as seen from the point-of-view of a
contemporary, realistic heroine. The result is a funny and singular work
unlike anything else you’ve ever read.
