22 June 2009 (Berkeley, CA) – This August, Silverline Books, the children’s graphic novel imprint from Image Comics, debuts two all-new titles showcasing the human side of two very fantastic situations: THE LAVA IS A FLOOR, by writer Justin Shady with artist Jeremy R. Scott, and TIMOTHY & THE TRANSGALACTIC TOWEL, by writer Michael Bullock with artist Michael Metcalf!"I was immediately impressed with the way THE LAVA IS A FLOOR and TIMOTHY & THE TRANSGALACTIC TOWEL both appeal to a child’s sense of humor, while the vivid imagery captures the imaginations of new and reluctant readers alike," Silverline Publisher, Jim Valentino, said. "Both books give unique twists on the everyday experiences of children, making them enjoyable for both kids and their parents."
Silverline Books continues its tradition of bridging the gap between comics and children’s story books for a new generation of fans with THE LAVA IS A FLOOR and TIMOTHY AND THE TRANSGALACTIC TOWEL. THE LAVA IS A FLOOR is the story of a brother and sister troubled by a typical childhood dilemma: they’re bored. Although this is not your typical sibling duo - they’re monsters living in the crater of a volcano! Using their imaginations, they pretend to be the strangest creatures they can think of: humans! In TIMOTHY AND THE TRANSGALACTIC TOWEL, a young boy named Timothy soon finds out that with a seemingly normal beach towel, he can transport himself to other worlds and times, including into the midst of an inter-galactic war!
THE LAVA IS A FLOOR (JUN090325), a 32-page, full-color hardcover book for $12.99, will be in stores August 5, 2009. TIMOTHY AND THE TRANSGALACTIC TOWEL (JUN090327), a 112-page, full-color book $16.99, will be in stores August 26, 2009.
