Synopsis

The Hello Kitty brand touches every part of a girl’s life with on-trend product, and touches every part of popular culture—from fashion to celebrity to art. It is a true lifestyle brand. VIZ Media’s wordless comic series is the first of its kind.

Hello Kitty and her friends are off on adventures near and far!

Hello Kitty has places to be and friends to meet!

Join Hello Kitty in her first-ever comic book adventures as she explores an underground realm, moonlights as an international super spy, climbs the Himalayas, travels back in time, and discovers that sometimes, the best place to get away from it all is between the pages of a good book.

Plus, guest artist Susie Ghahremani takes Hello Kitty on some unexpected detours! 

About this title

About the Author

Jorge Monlongo makes comic books, editorial and children’s illustrations, video game designs and paints on canvas and walls. He combines traditional and digital techniques to create worlds in beautiful colors that usually hide terrible secrets. You can see his works in the press (El País, Muy interesante, Rolling Stone) and read his comic book series, Mameshiba, published by VIZ Media in the USA.

Giovanni Castro was born in Colombia, studied art there, and now lives and works in Barcelona, Spain.

Ian McGinty lives in Savannah, Georgia, and also parts of the universe! Also, Earth. When he isn't drawing comics and rad pictures of octopuses (octopi?), he's laughing at funny-looking dogs and making low-carb burritos! Ian draws stuff for Viz Media, Top Shelf Productions, BOOM! Studios, Zenescope and many more cool folk! But he cannot draw garbage trucks for some reason.

Reviews

Hello Kitty is cute, cute, cute! And fans everywhere will squeal with delight at this collection of short, wordless comics. In colorful, detailed panels, Kitty embarks on all kinds of adventures: she travels to the North and South Poles before taking a trip to the moon. She rescues a very special package for the queen of England in a James Bond–style caper. She embarks on a day of housekeeping, only to fall clean through the earth. All while making new, cute friends along the way, of course. Tongue-in-cheek visual jokes are everywhere, from Kitty’s logic-defying around-the-world chase to a daylong adventure with an umbrella that she uses for everything except rain protection. The standout is Kitty’s trip to the library, where she samples various genres and is befuddled by a fantasy, terrified by an undersea adventure, and—in a laugh-out-loud send-up—so bored by a black-and-white Chandleresque noir that she nods off right in the middle. Though some of the references might soar over the heads of young readers, the cheerful, bubbly cartoon art is irresistible. Grades K-2. --Sarah Hunter
