I’m excited to share that my all-new book series, Unicorn Boy debuts on March 12th 2024.

Here’s the official description…
Brian is a totally normal, completely ordinary kid. Until the day he grows a unicorn horn! Not only is it HUGE…it sparkles, it sings, and attracts the forces of evil!
Becoming a unicorn superhero is the last thing a shy kid like Brian wants. But when his best friend Avery gets swiped by sinister shadow creatures, Brian must team up with a talking muffin and a black cat…and go on an epic underworld adventure to save the day! Can Unicorn Boy save his best friend from the underworld?

Unicorn Boy will be published by First Second books in the US and Hachette in the UK.

And check out this awesome blurb for the book!

“Unicorn Boy is SO MUCH FUN! A wonderful, magical story, hilarious characters, and Dave’s brilliant eye for making crazy things seem totally believable, all combined to make one of the best comics I’ve read in a long time! Imaginative, thrilling, and with so many surprising twists, everyone should be reading Unicorn Boy!”
-Jamie Smart, Bunny Vs. Monkey

I’m super excited about the release of Explorer: The Lost Islands!

This book is beautiful! You have to see a copy of the hardcover in person! I wrote a 16-page story for this anthology called “Desert Island Playlist”, which was illustrated by my wife Raina Telgemeier and colored by Braden Lamb (who is also coloring her new book Sisters!).

Explorer: The Lost Islands is edited by Kazu Kibuishi and features new full-color stories by , Jason Caffoe (the Flight series), Jake Parker (the Missile Mouse series), Michel Gagne (“The Saga of Rex”), Katie and Steven Shanahan (the Flight series), and up-and-coming new artist Chrystin Garland.

Double bonus: Pre-Ordering your book through this WORD promotion still allows you to be eligible to participate in the Astronaut Academy Day contest as well!

Huge thanks to my friends at WORD for helping set this up and shipping out all the books!
