With the creation of Untamed Highway, the long forgotten art of classic comic book style has been re-energized in this cross-country, freak-showish road trip through the back alleys of American Popculture. Shawn Dickinson and Noah Snodgrass take readers on a time warped adventured down an imaginary route 66 where we are introduced to some outrageously entertaining characters…gorrillas wearing masks, shrunken heads on tikis, alligator boys and several other carnival freak show escapees, hot vixens with all the right attributes and of course, the secret societies where members wear those adorable fez hats. There’s really no way to adequately lable or describe this series, except to say that it is a heck-of-a-lot a fun to read and you can’t help but get caught up in the craziness that is American Popculture.

So, if you’re looking for a highly imaginative, classic-style comic with loads of personality, excellent dialog and incredible illustrations – Untamed Highway has it all and just keeps getting better with each new issue! 

Happy Reading!

Shawn Dickinson & Noah Snodgrass have loads of talent and limitless imaginations, both of which are on stunning display in this classic-styled, underground comic book, bristling with lowbrow, kustom kulture artwork that must be seen to be appreciated. Check it out!

Answering the call for an all ages, universally appealing comic, Bruce Brown has delivered a highly entertaining, masterfully illustrated, story that everyone can share and enjoy. There’s always been something special about comics that draws children, even those that have been reluctant to embrace books into the story. So, for all the comic-loving adults that have searched the shelves of your local store for the perfect book to introduce your children to that which you have enjoyed throughout your life…this is it!

Mwumba is a story about a little girl, named Cassandra, that is the ruler of her very own jungle. She’s self-obsessed, vain and loves being the center of attention. In her mind, everything that happens in the jungle is about her, thus making her the most important, let us not forget, the most beautiful Mwumban resident. Due to her personal hatred of vegetables, Cassandra, as the supreme and sole ruler of Mwumba, enacted a law forbidding any resident to eat vegetables. Everyday she and her loyal monkey brigade searched the jungle for new vegetables, when one was discovered it was immediately uprooted and tossed off a cliff. The “splat” noise the vegie made was music to Cassandra’s ears.

She had grown so accustomed to having everything all to herself, she was shocked when rumors began circulating about a monster in the jungle eating vegetables. Angered by this egregious breach of Mwumban law and by all the attention the jungle inhabitants were bestowing upon this stranger, Cassandra hatches a plan to rid the jungle of this monstrous invader. The story continues as Cassandra confronts her nemesis, the Bone King and ultimately finds that they really aren’t all that different after all.

Well written, illustrated with bright, vibrant colors and eye-catching scenery, this is destined to be a classic! If you are a comic-lover, or even if you have never read a comic-book before, Mwumba is an excellent introduction to this imaginative literary art-form. And how many kids wouldn’t enjoy chucking broccoli off a cliff?

Don’t Miss It!

Happy Reading!
