About the series
Based on the dystopian novel by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet, this single-issue preview from Yen Press offered a manga-style introduction to the world of Witch & Wizard. Illustrated and co-written by Svetlana Chmakova, the book served as a Free Comic Book Day sampler, hinting at the story of siblings in a totalitarian society where magic is a crime. It matters as a cross-cultural adaptation, bringing a popular Western YA property into the visual language of manga for a new audience.
