A new all-ages manga is coming from SHP. It’s a Western mashup called The Adventures of Baby Zicky: The Wrath of the Rat King. The five-issue series will launch on May 21.
“This is a personal story for me,” says publisher Shawn Hainsworth. “When my kids were little, I would pretend to be Baby Zicky and tell them a story about the adventures I went on while they were asleep. As my kids grew older, they had a lot of fun making fun of Baby Zicky and his made up adventures. It has been such a pleasure to see this story come to life. I have added a lot of humor for adults, so this should be a good read for all ages and especially as a comic to enjoy with your kids.”
So what’s The Adventures of Baby Zicky: The Wrath of the Rat King about?
Whether Zicky is remarking on the fantastical world he’s found himself in or hurling insults at his enemies, our young hero will delight readers of all kinds. While this is a story for all ages, the series encompasses a rich narrative filled with vibrant characters and thematic depth to spare. Good and evil are not presented as black and white, and Zicky will need all of his persistence, humor, and ninja skills to reach the end of his journey before time runs out!
Will Zicky be able to escape from the evil clutches of the Rat King and find his way home? Will this dastardly rodent foe succeed in invading our world? Find out for yourself by ordering The Adventures of Baby Zicky today!
