The #1 global bestselling Captain Underpants series returns!
Based on the first sensational chapter book, it's a reimagined
adventure perfectly paired with all-new manga artwork. Captain
Underpants: The First Epic Manga is written and adapted
by Dav Pilkey, illustrated by manga artist Motojiro, and totally
reinvented for a new generation of readers. Tra-la-laaa!
Following the story arc of the first original chapter book, Captain
Underpants: The First Epic Manga is re-envisioned
as an engaging graphic novel reading in Western style (left to right).
With dynamic manga artwork by Japanese artist Motojiro, all-new
Flip-O-Ramas, and much more, it will captivate existing fans, capture
new readers, and appeal to comics, manga, and anime aficionados
alike!
Combining humour and action with empowerment and empathy, Captain
Underpants: The First Epic Manga features the amazing
adventures of best friends George Beard and Harold Hutchins and
their waistband warrior superhero creation, Captain Underpants!
He's faster than a speeding waistband, more powerful than boxer shorts,
and able to leap tall buildings without getting a wedgie.
Night and day, Captain Underpants fights for truth, justice, and
all that is pre-shrunk and cottony!
The Captain Underpants series, which was launched over 25 years
ago, was instrumental in creating the illustrated children's chapter
book category that's still popular today.
For additional awesome, action-packed, inspiring escapades filled
with creativity and imagination, read Dav Pilkey's Dog Man,
Cat Kid Comic Club, Super Diaper Baby
(now in full color), and Dragon Tales series.
