Spotlight On: Snowmanilas
|
|
|
|
Each week we’ll be turning the spotlight on one of the many quality graphic novels from our extensive back catalogue.
This week it’s the turn of Snowmanilas.
Planet Snowmania’s snowman brothers (the Snowmanilas!) are enjoying some funtastic treasure-hunting adventures when they encounter a Snowgorilla military unit, some Snowti-ger Pirates, a Snowtiger Mermaid and a bunch of Ninja Sharks that are all after the same treasures.
This greed for the treasures will ultimately doom the planet, unless the Snowmanilas are fast enough to find and prevent the destruction that is rapidly approaching.
Written by Daniel Karhunen with art by Cynthia Sousa Rodgers and Andrea Meneghin, click the link below to order or download Snowmanilas now!
