Join Vault Ann Arbor on Saturday March 23rd from 6-8pm for the Nothing Special signing event! Meet comic book creator and cool gal - Katie Cook with Special Guest David Petersen!
“Katie Cook is the creator of the comic Nothing Special online Webtoon, an all-ages adventure about a girl, a boy with fairy wings and a dead Radish. It’s her favorite thing and you should read it. She also wrote and drew the webcomic Gronk: A Monster’s Story, which lost several awards but is still delightful and was one of the first webcomics archived by the Library of Congress! She spent several years as one of the primary writers on IDW’s My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic comics to the point that they made her a pony on the show (really)."
Nothing Special: Volume One follows the life of Callie, a teenager who is friends with the ghost of a radish and whose dad owns a magical antique shop. Callie’s dad won't let her join him on his collection trips in the magical realm “for her own protection”, so she’s lived her whole life in the human world and considers herself to be nothing special. But on her seventeenth birthday, Callie and her friend Declan find her home in disarray and her dad missing. Signs of a struggle point to the portal to the magical realm, and it's up to Callie, Declan, and Radish to band together and bring him home. As they face creatures good and bad, and all sorts of adventure, Callie and Declan may just find out that they are both special in their own ways after all.
Featuring quirky characters and heartwarming adventures Nothing Special: Through the Elder Woods is the launch of an exciting new series about friendship, family, and finding your place in the world that is sure to appeal to fantasy and comics lovers of all ages.
With special guest, Mouse Guard creator David Petersen!
