Colonia: Island and Anomalies
Jeff Nicholson
COLONIA: ISLANDS AND ANOMOLIES collects in one graphic novel the first five issues of Jeff Nicholson's critically-acclaimed comic book series under an all-new wrap around cover. An adventure story that is by turns fantastic but straightforward, familiar but strange, and real but surreal, COLONIA delivers true all-ages entertainment.
Jack and his two uncles wash ashore on an unfamiliar island, after escaping the hands of the pirate Cinnabar. Still unsure of where, or even when, he is, Jack encounters a man made of fish, Spanish Conquistadors, and a talking duck named Lucy, who is just as unfamiliar with the world Jack comes from as he is of hers. As they consider joining forces, they are shanghaied by yet another band of pirates.
Colonia: On Into the Great Lands
Jeff Nicholson
Jeff Nicholson’s critically acclaimed Colonia series continues in book form with “On Into the Great Lands,” a new tradepaperback collecting issues 6-11 of the Eisner nominated series. Picking up where their island hopping adventures left off, Jack and company go inland, where they discover (what may or may not be) a fountain of youth, a lost Seminole empire, Rip Van Winkle, and Teela the mermaid as a barmaid. The volume concludes with a new ship and a showdown with the notorious pirate Smokebeard.
- Jeff Nicholson has been nominated for 6 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards and was among the first recipients of the Xeric Grant Awardom
