SILVERLINE BOOKS DEBUTS TWO NEW CHILDREN’S GRAPHIC NOVELS THIS AUGUST!

Bulletin:

Silverline Books expands line of children’s graphic novels with THE LAVA IS A FLOOR and TIMOTHY & THE TRANSGALACTIC TOWEL!

This August Silverline Books, the children’s graphic novel imprint from Image Comics, debuts two all-new titles showcasing the human side of two very fantastic situations: THE LAVA IS A FLOOR by writer Justin Shady with artist Jeremy R. Scott and TIMOTHY & THE TRANSGALACTIC TOWEL by writer Michael Bullock with artist Michael Metcalf!

"I was immediately impressed with the way THE LAVA IS A FLOOR and TIMOTHY & THE TRANSGALACTIC TOWEL both appeal to a child’s sense of humor, while the vivid imagery captures the imaginations of new and reluctant readers alike, " Silverline Publisher Jim Valentino said. “Both books give unique twists on the everyday experiences of children, making them enjoyable for both kids and their parents.”

With THE LAVA IS A FLOOR and TIMOTHY AND THE TRANSGALACTIC TOWEL, Silverline Books continues its tradition of bridging the gap between comics and children’s story books for a new generation of fans. THE LAVA IS A FLOOR is the story of a brother and sister troubled by a typical childhood dilemma; they’re bored. Although these are not your typical sibling duo--they’re monsters living in the crater of a volcano! Using their imaginations they pretend to be the strangest creatures they can think of: humans! In TIMOTHY AND THE TRANSGALACTIC TOWEL, a young boy named Timothy soon finds out that with a seemingly normal beach towel he can transport himself to other worlds and times, including into the midst of an inter-galactic war!

THE LAVA IS A FLOOR (JUN090325), a 32-page full color hard cover book for $12.99, will be in stores August 5, 2009.

TIMOTHY AND THE TRANSGALACTIC TOWEL (JUN090327), a 112-page full color book for $16.99, will be in stores August 26, 2009.
