About this Collection

Jellaby Vol. 1 collects the first half of Kean Soo's gentle all-ages graphic novel series. It follows a shy young girl named Portia who discovers a large, friendly purple monster named Jellaby in the woods near her home, and the story explores their growing friendship as they search for Jellaby's origins. Originally serialized online before being collected by Hyperion, this volume sets up a quiet, whimsical adventure with a focus on loneliness and connection.

In this standout issue of Jellaby, written and illustrated entirely by Kean Soo, a young girl named Portia discovers a large, mysterious purple creature in the woods and names it Jellaby. With the help of her friend Jason, she must keep the creature hidden while uncovering clues to help Jellaby return to its true home. The story’s gentle mystery and heartfelt bond between Portia and her strange companion unfold with a quiet, deliberate charm, all rendered in Soo’s distinctive, expressive style.
