ABOUT
“Hilarious, heartfelt, and hugely entertaining! I can’t wait for the next StEvEn & Parker adventure!”—Lincoln Peirce, author of the Big Nate series
Meet StEvEn and his best buddy, Parker. StEvEn is an eight-year-old obsessed with all things dino, and has even assumed the role of CEO of the "Dino Club," a club of his own making. Parker is his long-suffering older brother who tries to keep StEvEn out of trouble.
At the Orange County Fair, StEvEn feels left out when he can’t go on a ride with Parker and Bianca, StEvEn's one true love (AKA Parker’s girlfriend). But a chance encounter with Tatum, a lost Dino plushie, leads to misadventures at the fair and at school as StEvEn desperately tries to run out the clock before Tatum’s real owner comes for him!
Inspired by the popular YouTube series, StEvEn and Parker: Dinos are Forever! is a riotous tale of over-the-top sibling antics and friendship that'll have you laughing out loud!
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.
