    About this ebook

    Setting out to explore the remote Outlands of Crutonia are the brave and multifarious crew of the H.M.S. Gwaniimander, under the command of Captain Quenterindy Quirk—a leader whose confidence exceeds his competence by several lengths of his own bushy tail.

    Quirk’s voyage of discovery is quickly plunged into disaster and mystery, as the expedition encounters carnivorous giants, an unstable sorceress, and a valley of indestructible creatures. With the crew decimated, the ship destroyed, and a malign force plotting worse fortune, can Quirk and his compatriots hold together their royal mission?

    Vividly illustrated and starring a cunningly designed cast of characters, Robert Christie and Deborah Lang's Into the Outlands is a tale of adventure in a fully-imagined fantasy world ripe for exploration. This first graphic novel of Quirk’s Quest includes an illustrated roster of the important characters, a guide to the intrepid Sxervian Frog Brigade, and mission map of the Outlands.

    Author

    Robert Christie

    Growing up on Long Island, Robert Christie spent most of his waking hours obsessively drawing anything and everything except cars. While taking cover from a lunchroom food fight, he met Deborah Lang and shortly thereafter they conspired to create Crutonia. Ever since they have been writing stories set in their quirky made-up world. After earning his BFA in St. Louis, MO he moved to Jersey City where he makes his living as an illustrator, painter and prop maker for major motion pictures, Broadway, and fashion photo shoots. He has been writing and further developing Crutonia with Deborah Lang for over three decades, and Quirk's Quest is their first (published) graphic novel.

      The art is cute but otherwise, it did nothing for me. Nothing really happens and there's no explanation for what little does happen. Plus all the names are unpronounceable and there are made-up words which are just plain annoying.
    • 4/5
      This is the first book in the Quirk's Quest series. In this book Captain Quenterindy Quirk and his crew set out to explore the outlands of Curonia. They are to map the area, explore the lands and Setting out to explore the remote Outlands of Crutonia are the brave and multifarious crew of the log the flora and fauna they come across. when their ship, H.M.S. Gwaniimander, is attacked by carnivorous giants, and many of the crew are killed, eaten or drown. The survivers find a cave to hide in and eventually come across the Yoons who are poisonous to the giants. The characters in the book are all very strange looking with very weird names. They meet up with Hukka, a nasty sorceress who kicks them out of her cave and is trying to kidnap one of the crew. With the crew decimated, the ship destroyed, and a malign force plotting worse fortune, can Quirk and his compatriots hold together their royal mission and complete their explorations? Once they finish exploring the island, how will they return home with no ship?

      Vivid illustrations and a remarkable cast of characters, Into the Outlands is a tale of adventure in a fantasy world to rival the best imagination. The back of the book includes an illustrated roster of the important characters, a guide to the intrepid Sxervian Frog Brigade, and mission map of the Outlands. What will happen in the next installment of Quirk's Quest. This is a good graphic novel for students 8 to 12. The graphics, weird creatures and nonsensical names will surely grab their attention.

      I received a copy of this book from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
