‘Adora and the Distance’ is about Adora who must brave the fantastical world of pirates, ghosts, and ‘The Distance’ which threatens to destroy it all.

Courtesy of ComiXology, we have an exclusive look at Adora and the Distance, a new ComiXology Originals graphic novel out June 15th. Written by Marc Bernardin with character designs and art by Ariela Krisantina, the new YA fantasy graphic novel follows the epic adventures of Adora, a brave young woman of color who lives in a fantastical world with underground pirates, ghosts, and a mysterious force called “The Distance” which threatens to destroy it all.

Adora
She’s the heroine of our story. Not that she wants to be — Adora would be content to just live the life of a carefree girl in a seaside city, playing with the wind in her hair. But she’s plagued by prophetic dreams. She’s called to face an all-encompassing force known as…the Distance.

El Moor
El Moor is more than a bodyguard. Or, at least, Adora thinks so, given that El Moor never says a word — but remains ever vigilant. Always by her side.

Jaffar—from distant Arabia
He’s seen a lot in his days. Things that no man should see. But despite the memories he carries—or maybe because of them—Jaffar finds respite in his own dreams. Which means he likes to catch a nap whenever he can.
