Edited by the New York Times bestselling comics creator Kazu Kibuishi, The Lost Islands offers a collection of seven all-new stories written and illustrated by an award-winning roster of comics artists, with each story centered around the theme of hidden places.
 
This graphic anthology includes well-written, beautifully illustrated stories by: 
  • Kibuishi Kazu (the Amulet series)
  • Jason Caffoe (the Flight series)
  • Raina Telgemeier (Drama and Smile)
  • Dave Roman (the Astronaut Academy series)
  • Jake Parker (the Missile Mouse series)
  • Michel Gagné (The Saga of Rex)
  • Katie and Steven Shanahan (the Flight series)
  • And up-and-coming artist Chrystin Garland 
All seven author/artists tie their scary or exhilarating nautical adventures to metaphorical underpinnings. Captain Ahab–like obsession with catching the big one leads a sailor into a cave that is really a giant mouth. One young castaway meets a crab ghost. Another meets someone she never expected to see: an older version of herself. A young island girl is lured to join tiki-masked celebrants who turn out to be dead.
 
Beautifully drawn, each artist works in a different style, but all share humor, suspense, and a buoyant tone. Young readers will be entertained, and maybe a little scared, by this one-of-a-kind, alone-on-an-island tales of mystery and magic.  
Kazu Kibuishi is the creator of Amulet, the award-winning New York Times bestselling graphic novel series, and the editor and art director of eight volumes of Flight, the influential Eisner-nominated anthology series. He lives in Alhambra, California.
