Beautiful new copy of this debut graphic novel. Will ship sandwiched between two cardboards. RIP, M.D. is the debut graphic novel from The Angry Beavers (a Nicktoon) creator Mitch Schauer, a creepy, fun-filled all-ages adventure introducing Ripley Plimpt, an eleven-year-old boy whose ordinary life is turned upside down when he discovers that monsters are not only real, but are also in desperate need of his help to overcome their very real problems. One foggy night, while searching for monsters in the cemetery behind his house, Ripley finds and rescues the tiniest of bats impaled on a thorn bush. What Ripley doesn't realize is that he's just saved the life, or "un-life," of one of the world's most dangerous night creatures - a vampire! Word spreads among all monsters of Rip's heroic gallantry and kindness. Before long, legendary and mythical monsters from around the world are showing up on his doorstep proclaiming Rip as Rip, M.D. - Monster Doctor! Writing and illustrating the graphic novel, Emmy-Award winning and long time producer, writer and designer Schauer has teamed with comic-book veteran Mike Vosburg who's bringing his innovative, illustrative style to the artwork's inking. Michael Lessa and Justin Yamaguchi are creating a whole new look for RIP, M.D. with their beautiful color and special effects expertise. RIP, M.D. is the first collaboration between the independent animation studio Lincoln Butterfield, who's producing the graphic novel, and Fantagraphics Books, who's publishing it. Loc:b2
