Based on the McElroy family's smash hit podcast, a graphic novel following the metafictional adventures of three D&D characters and their interfering Dungeon Master, with art from rising star Carey Pietsch.
Meet the McElroys! Clint was born first, which recent studies have
shown is the best procedure for fathers and sons; then came Justin,
Travis, and, last but not least, Griffin. This hilarious family
gained fame in the world of podcasts with My brother My brother and
Me (which spawned a popular tv show), sawbones, shmanners,
rosebuddies, and a farcical romp called The Adventure Zone.
Carey Pietsch is a cartoonist based out of Brooklyn, New York. Her
previous work includes drawing two arcs of Lumberjanes and the
artwork for the Mages of Mystralia webcomic. Carey also makes
Keepsakes and other original comics about magic and empathy. Along
with brightening her workdays, The Adventure Zone got her to join a
D&D campaign.
A #1 New York Times bestseller
The Adventure Zone is fun, hilarious, and also smart. Hey, guys,
can I have a cameo next time?" -- Adam Savage, MythBusters "My
excitement about this existing cannot be dwarfed by anything. You
see what I did there." -- Jean Grae, hip-hop artist, actor, and
comedian "The warped fantasy lives of McElroy Sons and Dad are as
addictively adorable and unstoppably hilarious as they are on their
podcast (a popular mind comic); but somehow Carey Pietsch's
gorgeous and playful art makes this deep dive into their beautiful
brains even richer, weirder, and more mandatory. This is a critical
hit." -- John Hodgman, Vacationland "Gorgeous art--the characters
come to life! I am so happy that this graphic novel is a thing that
exists in the world." -- Hank Green, Crash Course, The Lizzie
Bennet Diaries "Clint, Griffin, Justin, and Travis McElroy team up
with artist Carey Pietsch to adapt the show's first quest in The
Adventure Zone: Here There Be Gerblins, and Pietsch's rich animated
art style imbues their characters with life, capturing the distinct
personalities that were created through voice on the podcast."
-A.V. Club "Pietsch's art adds depth to the page at every turn,
bringing this world to life in a really exciting way and also
giving the characters a full range of expression that almost makes
you forget you are reading." -The Mary Sue "The larger sardonic
commentary on taking fantasy too seriously, matched with the
characters' unwillingness to follow a game's unrealistic rules,
will be clever and hilarious to those in the know. --Booklist
