MIKE WHITE ILLUSTRATION AND DESIGN
Mellybean is a graphic novel trilogy written & illustrated by myself and colored by Valery Kutz. In the spring of 2019 I created a version of what would become the first book and solicited it to agents. It was picked up & received bids from 3 of the top 5 publishing companies in America. By the fall the series was signed to Razorbill Penguin Random House and released in 2020-2022 and is available on Amazon & wherever books are sold.
Mellybean Graphic Novel Series | 3x 208 pages | Full Color | Published by Peguin Random House
While releasing the series during a global pandemic did not help the project become a commercial success, the series was well received by critics and readers, with the first book, Mellybean and the Giant Monster, going on to win a Canadian readers choice award through the Forest Of Reading literary organization.
