{"product_id":"daisy-goes-to-the-moon-rick-geary-9798875000546","title":"Daisy Goes to the Moon","description":"Rick Geary turns his pen from vintage true crime to whimsy in \u003cem\u003eDaisy Goes to the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e, an adaptation of a novella written by Mathew Klickstein inspired by the real-life Victorian author Daisy Ashford's successfully published juvenilia, co-written with her parents. \u003cp\u003eGeary's version stars little Daisy herself and pastiches everything in his unique visual stylization from \u003cem\u003eAlice in Wonderland\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Wizard of Oz\u003c\/em\u003e to late-19th-century and early-20th-century comics: Daisy is lured to adventure by a \"rokitship\" as she decides to go to the moon with a man named Mr. Z. They encounter many-eyed monsters, time travelers with TVs, her duplicate, a \"troobador,\" and more delights and vexations. Geary places his expressive, clean-line black-and-white figures, each with distinct body language, in ornate frames to denote settings and narrative layers. There's rollicking verbal and physical comedy as characters (sometimes literally) bounce off each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeary's rare artistic gift of being able to depict ornate period detail without sacrificing storytelling clarity or fun pairs perfectly with Klickstein's imaginative writing. Showcasing elements of Philip K. Dick, Douglas Adams, and Antoine de Saint-Exup?ry, the book will delight readers as they discover Daisy's playful, madcap space adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rick Geary, Mathew Klickstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798875000546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Rick Geary","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46372791550207,"sku":"9798875000546","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_414b2855-df76-44de-a7dd-79a63316ab13.jpg?v=1732726974","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/daisy-goes-to-the-moon-rick-geary-9798875000546","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
