Adventure Time Compendium Vol. 4

Break out your Ax Bass, turn on the stage lights, get ready to SHRED—this newest Adventure Time Compendium shines the spotlight on Ooo’s most famous rocker: Marceline the Vampire Queen!

It’s time for the tour—that’s right, the world tour! Marceline and her band, the Scream Queens, are out to take Ooo by storm. Whether it’s rocking out for sold-out stadiums, bringing music to outer space, fighting to save the mind of her best friend, or helping PB save the Candy Kingdom in the race of a century, you can bet Marceline’s ready to blow the minds of anyone who’ll listen! (Oh, and did we mention the pirates?!)

These tales and more are all on the setlist of this Adventure Time Compendium, collecting Marceline and the Scream Queens #1–6 by Meredith Gran; Marceline Gone Adrift #1–6 written by Meredith Gran and illustrated by Carey Pietsch; Marcy & Simon #1–6 written by Olivia Olson and drawn by Slimm Fabert; Thunder Road written by Jeremy Sorese and illustrated by Zachary Sterling; and Marceline the Pirate Queen written by Leah Williams and illustrated by Zachary Sterling—plus a host of shorts!

Brooklyn-based Meredith Gran is a cartoonist and teacher at the School of Visual Arts. Her long-running webcomic OCTOPUS PIE is known for its intense resonance and amazing levels of craft.

Carey Pietsch is currently the co-adapter and artist on the Adventure Zone graphic novel series from First Second books. Books 1–6—The Suffering Game, The Eleventh Hour, The Crystal Kingdom, Petals to the Metal, Murder on the Rockport Limited, and Here There Be Gerblins—are out in bookstores everywhere, and you can buy them online at theadventurezonecomic.com. Previously, she was the artist on the Mages of Mystralia webcomic, Lumberjanes Issues #29–32, and Adventure Time: Marceline Gone Adrift. Her original comics Rift and The Witches' Daughters appeared in SOI's Comic & Cartoon Art Annual, 2015; Gleam was a part of the 2016 show. Her work has also appeared in several anthologies, including Chainmail Bikini, Oath, 1001 Knights, Blood Root, and Terrestrial. When she's not making comics, she's probably playing a tabletop game, collecting more plants, or working on a goofy podcast about Animorphs. She graduated from Swarthmore College in 2010 and is now living in Brooklyn.
