On January 18th, Top Shelf Productions (an imprint of IDW Publishing) is releasing Junkwraith, Swedish graphic novelist, Ellinor Richey’s debut YA / adult crossover graphic novel. It’s an epic quest for the things left behind, with icy-cool artwork and astonishing sci-fi settings.
The story follows the epic quest of a young woman who accidentally summons a terrifying revenge-seeking, memory-stealing ghost, a.k.a. a junkwraith. Before she forgets who she is, and to find out who she really wants to be, she must face the monster she created.
“A story of memory, belonging, patience, and oddly enough, recycling… Richey’s delightfully odd characters and increasingly strange landscapes cultivate a rich sense of atmosphere. Highly recommended for teens and adults who want to learn how to be brave.” — Booklist
Synopsis:
Junkwraith tells the story of ice-skating prodigy Florence Sato who is overwhelmed by pressure from her parents and peers and throws away her skates. This fateful moment accidentally summons a “junkwraith,” a terrifying ghost which seeks revenge for its abandonment by attacking the memories of its former owner. Before she forgets who she is, and to find out who she really wants to be, Florence must set off - with her trusty digital assistant Frank — on a long journey into the Wastelands to face the monster she created.
