Pakkins' Land: Quest for Kings

In the late 1990s, Caliber Press published Pakkins' Land: Quest for Kings, a six-issue fantasy series from creators Gary and Rhoda Shipman. Gary Shipman handled both writing and art for this all-ages adventure, which follows a young boy who finds himself transported to a magical world populated by talking animals. The series is a heartfelt, family-friendly epic that stands out for its detailed, expressive artwork and its earnest, storybook tone.
