Officer Clawsome: Crime Across Time by Brian "Smitty" Smith and Chris Giarrusso

“A graphic novel to SHELL-eberate!”
― JOHN GALLAGHER, author of the Max Meow series

Officer Clawsome and his partner, Stariana, are back and on the case of an epic, time-bending mystery in this sequel to Officer Clawsome: Lobster Cop.

Caper Cove’s finest officers are on a new case, but the investigation takes a turn for the strange when the town’s resident evil genius, Brain Sturgeon, dives into a portal to the past. Fighting crime, dodging dinosaurs, and wrangling wild-west outlaws, these two best friends find themselves tangled up in a mystery fit for the ages. Will this dynamic duo be able to restore the past, present, and future, or will time as we know it be lost forever?

Fans of Dog Man and SpongeBob will delight in the continued hijinks of Clawsome and Stariana in their latest adventure.

Written by New York Times bestselling author Brian “Smitty” Smith (Pea, Bee, & Jay, Tree Mail, The Stuff of Legend) and illustrated by Chris Giarrusso.

― JOHN PATRICK GREEN, New York Times bestselling author of the InvestiGators series

Dog Man meets SpongeBob in Officer Clawsome: Lobster Cop, a fast-paced and funny middle grade graphic novel series about the crimefighting duo Clawsome, a lobster, and his partner Stariana, a starfish, as they fight such denizens of the deep as the Catfishburglar, Chowderhead, and the Brain Sturgeon. Crime doesn’t pay in Caper Cove with Officer Clawsome and his partner, Stariana, on the case. Just ask the notorious Catburglarfish—she’ll confirm.

Will this dynamic duo save the day yet again, or have the citizens of Caper Cove eaten their last Kelpcake…for good?

The G-Man Super Journal Awesome Origins by Chris Giarrusso

“The world needs a hero like G-Man.”
― GENE LUEN YANG, author of American Born Chinese

When Michael G (yes, “G” is his whole last name, and that’s why everyone calls him G-Man) has to keep a journal in Mrs. Rosario’s class at school, naturally he writes about his ambition to have superpowers and join the superheroes of his city (like Captain Thunderman) in the fight for justice.

After all, his friend Billy Demon just got an awesome winged flying suit and superpowers of his own, and now he’s the most popular kid in school! Mikey would just love to have superpowers too, but how will he get them? And if he does get them, what will he do with them?
