ABOUT
“Above all of the book’s technical virtuosity is a loving eye for charismatic characters who earn their charm-especially the girl and the demon she encounters as she enters the city, whose wary relationship winds up making for a simple, stunning payoff at the end that’s as heart-piercing as the greatest moments of Jeff Smith’s Bone. ” - The Onion AV Club A great wall separates a magnificent metropolis from the surrounding countryside. All humans are banned from ever entering the city. A young girl is determined to enter the forbidden city in search of her lost brother. When she crosses over the wall, fantastic adventures ensue in the narrow medieval streets, ancient temples, and abandoned bazaars of the haunted city. To save her missing brother, she must grapple with mythical creatures, explore the mystery of the missing inhabitants, and cure the amnesia of an entire civilization. Over the Wall immerses the reader in a richly imagined world of coming-of-age rituals, lost worlds, and the nature of memory. Peter Wartman is the creator of the acclaimed Over The Wall graphic novel. He's the artist on many Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novels from Dark Horse Comics. He lives in Minneapolis.
