Lilo & Stitch Write and Draw Their First Graphic Novel for Kids!
| 
February 24, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite Entertainment is excited to announce a brand-new graphic novel starring characters from Disney’s Lilo & Stitch. The Stitch Book: Top Secret Adventures tumbles into the hands of ambitious and creative young readers starting this May!
The first in a series of exceedingly silly original graphic novels, Top Secret Adventures is told through the perspective of the characters from Disney’s Lilo & Stitch. Lilo dictates the story and her blue-furred friend Stitch handles the illustration duties. Behind the scenes, critically acclaimed and fan-favorite writer and artist Jeff Parker pulls double duty, imitating this adorable style that will connect with kids.
Agent Cobra Bubbles has a mission, he'd like to build a series of journals that chronicle the life and times of the controversial Experiment 626, a.k.a. Stitch. For strictly academic and procedural reasons! He needs to keep up with the duo while he returns to the world of secret agent-ing. And he wants Lilo and Stitch themselves on the case!
Readers will find the day to day chaos left in the wake of the little force of nature, as he further gets adjusted to the idyllic island life of Hawaii, and learns the meaning of 'ohana becoming closer with his found family. Pages feature quick profiles on cherished characters including Nani, Cobra Bubbles, Dr. Jumba Jookiba, Mr. Pleakley, and Stitch. Early in the story, bookworms will love Stitch's stylized depictions of surfing the Pacific waves, and it only gets more fun from there!
The Stitch Book: Top Secret Adventures is 208 pages, and produced at 5.5 by 8.25 inches, perfect for younger readers and parents to take everywhere they go. The first batch of journal entries are unveiled to the public this coming May 6, with more planned to come!
"As a big Chris Sanders admirer and superfan of the movie, I've long wished I could have worked on the original Disney’s Lilo & Stitch," said writer and artist Jeff Parker." The animation studio really knocked it out of the galaxy, and I think readers will enjoy us keeping the spirit of that alive. Lilo and Stitch may now have a very stable found family, but they're still little chaos agents that upend life everywhere they go, and they go a lot of places in The Stitch Book."
