Edited by Kendra Boileau and Rich Johnson.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to its knees. Amid the uncertainty, writers and artists from around the world continued to create comics, commenting directly on how individuals, societies, governments, and markets reacted to the worldwide crisis.

COVID Chronicles: A Comics Anthology collects more than forty such short comics from a diverse set of creators. In narrative styles ranging from realistic to fantastic, they tell stories about adjusting to working from home, homeschooling their kids, missing birthdays and weddings, and being afraid just to leave the house. These comics express the anger, anxiety, fear, and bewilderment we feel in the era of COVID-19. Above all, they highlight the power of art and community to help us make sense of a world in crisis, reminding us that we are truly all in this together.

(W) Calista Brill; Nilah Magruder (A) Nilah Magruder A heartwarming middle-grade graphic novel about being the new kid, making new friends, and learning to trust yourself through the power of horseback riding-perfect for fans of Victoria Jamieson's Roller Girl. Nora is a prize-winning horseback rider in a suburban area, with a tight-knit circle of best friends. But when her mom gets a prestigious new job in a poor, rural area, she has to adjust to a lot of change: to being the only Black kid in a new class and to a new barn called Creaky Acres, where her beloved horse, Hay Fever, will make his new home. It's there she meets sweet and geeky Laura, goofy and fun-loving Wilson, and fearless Dolores (aka Dizzy). With her ragtag team of equestrians, Nora learns it's okay to stand out and steps into her power as a leader, realizing that being a rider isn't just about winning-or maybe that winning just might look different than what she'd thought.

1st Printing. Collects Creepover GN Series Volume 1-3. Written by P. J. Night. Art and cover by Onofrio Orlando and Giusi Lo Piccolo. First a game of TRUTH OF DARE goes wrong when Abby Miller confesses her crush on Jake Chilson. The only people who know her secret are her friends at the sleepover-and whoever sent her a text message in the middle of the night warning her to stay away from Jake...or else! But Abby isn't going to stay away from Jake, especially not after he asks her to the school dance. As the night of the dance comes closer, some very creepy things start happening to Abby. Someone definitely wants to keep her away from Jake. Is it a jealous classmate or, as Abby begins to suspect, could it be a ghost? Then, Emily Hunter loves hanging out with her new neighbors. From their decked-out rec room to their almost-professional guitar playing, Drew and Vicky Strig are super cool. Since Drew and Vicky are homeschooled, Emily's other friends haven't gotten to know them yet. So Emily comes up with a plan for everyone to meet-a big party and sleepover at her house! But as Emily gets ready for the party, she begins to wonder about Drew and Vicky. They won't let Emily into certain rooms in their house. And a wolf howls on their lawn every night. Is it only Emily's overactive imagination or are the new neighbors more than just a little strange, or is Emily right to proclaim "YOU CAN'T COME IN HERE!"? Finally, Birthday girl and queen of all things creepy Kelly Garcia is all set to have the perfect night. Her parents are going out of town, and with just a babysitter, Kelly's practically on her own. It's the perfect time for a virtual webcam sleepover where she and her friends can scare each other silly by telling ghost stories and summoning the spirit of Miss Mary, a woman from their small town who died tragically a long time ago. But when her friends start disappearing one by one and the babysitter is nowhere to be found, Kelly starts getting scared for real. Will Kelly be the next to face the ghost's wrath, or is she READY FOR A SCARE? Hardcover, 6-in. x 10-in., 470 pages, full color.

Story and art by Lee Sensenbrenne and Keiler Roberts.

Creepy is the contemporary answer to the shocking tales of the Brothers Grimm and bedtime moral stories like the boy who cried wolf or the princess and the pea: in it, Roberts and Sensenbrenner provide a shrewd and comical commentary on the increasing digitization of childhood.
