ABOUT


Meet Archibald, the only bald dinosaur in the world. From the #1 New York Times bestselling creators of Grumpy Monkey comes a charming new character in this laugh-out-loud story of Jurassic proportions that celebrates standing out from the crowd.


Long ago, in the time of prehistoric preening, all dinosaurs have fur. All except for one. Meet Archibald.

When Archibald embarks on a dangerous quest to find his lost locks, he encounters danger at every turn. Along the way, he outwits the clever Woollyciraptors, rescues two dinosaurs from getting eaten, and even encounters the dreaded Furannosaurus Rex! While he may not end this story with even a strand of hair on his head, he does begin to see that his life is wonderful as it is. As he discovers, it’s better to focus on what you do have, not on what you don’t.  

Readers will laugh along as Archibald learns to embrace the things that make you different.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
