Story and art by Thomas Woodruff.

A stunning, head-turning, "graphic opera" masterpiece from an acclaimed painter and illustrator.Francis Rothbart follows a feral child who is raised by magpies and other creatures and is repeatedly struck by lightning. Because of these phenomena, the child develops eccentric talents, which he then abuses, leading to his ultimate destruction by the same natural world that once nurtured him.

Written mostly in rhymed verse, Francis's picaresque saga unfolds in an allegorical environment, much like the topographical constructions behind renaissance religious paintings. Referencing both the Venetian landscapes of Bellini, Pierro di Cosimo, and Carpaccio, mixed with the unlikely animated backdrops of Jay Ward and Chuck Jones, Woodruff's images recall the fictive gardens of a paradise lost that lingers somewhere deep in all our souls, moist and dark like the caves of the pious saints.

Combining both paintings and drawings, each scene is a visual and verbal feastthat transports us to a place in which trees anthropomorphize into figures bending from the weight of stalactite crowns, an iris becomes the gown for an oneiric sprite, and the sky rains down tears, as if mimicking the melancholy of a weeping willow. In a muted palette, Woodruff's carbon and white charcoal pencil drawings bring us ever closer to this mythical ecology. The artist lovingly focuses on every detail: ethereal, fragile blossoms, petals, roots, and leaves; impressively observed wildlife creatures; and each curve of the hand lettered text is rendered by the delicate hand of an illustrative obsessionist with a penchant for the poignant.

Woodruff's images are multi-sourced amalgamations that echo with familiarity, portraying a world that is not only our own but also exists in the place of our half-remembered dreams. Thomas Woodruff's works have been included in numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally including the Whitney Museum of Art (NY), The Norman Rockwell Museum (MA), the Kohler Arts Center (WI), and the National Gallery of Australia. He lives in upstate New York.

Written by Stephanie Peters. Art by Fernando Cano.

Frank tends the garbage heap in the monster realm, just on the other side of the human world. In his spare time, he builds inventions out of garbage scraps. One of his inventions is of a human-inspired robot, with a stained t-shirt as the body. But Frank can't seem to get the robot to work. One strange night, a bolt of lightning transforms the invention into a real human child! Frank names him "Stain." Curious and energetic, Stain wreaks havoc on the monster realm, angering the monster population.

Can Frank save Stain from destruction by convincing the rest of the monsters that Stain is not a threat?
