March 21: Lan Pitts in Baltimore

BEAT EVERY 1-UP

Writer: Lan Pitts – Artist: Joe Hunter
Letterer: Frank Cvetkovic


 
Listen up! This is the fisticuff-filled tale of Princess Helia of Terrager: a natural-born fighter since childhood, Helia must head out into the wider world when her soon-to-be-husband is groom-napped on their wedding day by the atrocious ape, and would-be world conqueror, Gogo. But what does a sheltered princess know of the other realms? Well, not a whole lot. Luckily, Helia is joined by her (only) friend and bodyguard, the ice witch, Sidra. Together, the pair will brave the deserts of Flaterra, the blizzards of Frosterra…uh, you get the idea…until they've rescued the wayward prince, thwarted Gogo, and punched every henchman they can find. And maybe, by the end of their journey, Helia and Sidra will realize their connection goes beyond mere friendship… …find out in BEAT EVERY 1-UP, a young adult graphic novel that will bring a new definition to "your princess is in another castle!"
