ABOUT
When Wadsworth’s Family Wonderland comes to town, Preston, Bri, Grumpus, and Shivers are thrilled to check out all the rides! But when the four friends show up for the fun, they realize that the carnival has seen better days. The rides are rickety and the whole place seems to be falling apart. Just before the crew heads back home, Kat Lavender dares Preston to spend the night in the incredibly terrifying, probably not haunted, Spooky House. To prove he's not afraid, Preston accepts. But once Preston and his friends enter the house, the doors magically lock, a shivering breeze rolls in, and a voice emerges from everywhere, 'Escape by morning-or you will NEVER leave! ' Join YouTube superstar PrestonPlayz and his friends on this thrillingly spooky (but still absolutely hilarious) middle-grade graphic novel adventure that’ll leave friends and fans alike guessing what comes next!
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.
