From Chris Staros:
For the first time ever, Top Shelf has teamed up with Nickelodeon to collect the comics from their groundbreaking
Nickelodeon Magazine:
GRAMPA & JULIE: SHARK HUNTERS
by Jef Czekaj
Equal parts Tin Tin and The Simpsons, this full-color graphic novel – suitable for children and adults of all ages – collects Jef Czekaj's endearing and delightful tale from the pages of
Nickelodeon Magazine (which reaches over 1 million kids and parents each month). Join Julie and her world-famous Grampa in endless zany adventures as they search the high seas for Stephen, the largest shark in the world. Along the way they meet rapping squirrels, nerdy pirates, and entrepreneurial penguins as they travel from the bottom of the ocean to the furthest reaches of outer space. Will they find Stephen? Will pirates make them walk the plank? And will Julie ever get her Grampa to stop goofing around? Dive in and find out. Published in association with Nickelodeon, and funded in part by a grant from the Xeric Foundation.

AND: HOT OFF THE PRESSES
I don't think we've published three books cooler than these.
Same Difference explores the not-so-average twenty-somethings' of Korean-American life;
Dang! follows obnoxious teens, fashion conscious yuppies, and twin homeless orphans in a series debut that might just be the new "Eightball #1" for the modern generation; and
All Flee! tells the exploits of a "Godzilla" training camp where young monsters learn to trample. How could you go wrong!? Click here to see the covers and details for all three titles:
