The Bizarre Adventures of Gilbert and Sullivan

In The Bizarre Adventures of Gilbert and Sullivan (2015–present, Soaring Penguin Press), writer and artist Laura Howell reimagines the legendary duo of comic opera as time-traveling, monster-fighting adventurers. This single-issue debut blends Victorian-era theatrical flair with whimsical, offbeat fantasy, offering a playful tribute to the creators of The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado. Howell’s energetic, cartoonish art brings a fresh, lighthearted spin to the pair’s legacy, making it a charming oddity for fans of both classic musicals and quirky British comics.
