Louie and Bear Bite Back

A Graphic Novel

Illustrated by Brady Smith
"The kind of book I wish I had as a kid!" – Christopher Eliopoulos, author-illustrator of Cosmic Commandos, on Louie and Bear in the Land of Anything Goes
 
Return to the bizarre and exciting Land of Anything Goes! Louie, Bear, and the rest of their friends must escape back to earth when a new villain comes after them in this hilarious graphic novel sequel!


Louie, Bear, and all their friends have settled into the good life in the Land of Anything Goes after their defeat of Hairy Larry. That is, until the villainous Panda Brain hits the scene and finds the Imaginator, a device that can create or transform anything the user imagines. Soon, wild things start happening: all the kids start going through odd changes, they keep getting attacked by a shape-shifting, lightning-generating monster, and the Land literally starts raining fish! Will the group be able to get home before the transformations are permanent, or will they be doomed to a new (and burrito-less) existence forever?
