Cherry Zong's Red is a new YA graphic novel that's described as "a twisted version of Little Red Riding Hood. Red lives in a forest that has been dying for years, and her grandmother instructs her to hunt the monsters at the cause of the decay, until she meets a wolf-girl named Sil. As she begins to develop a relationship with her, Red begins to uncover the somewhat sinister truth behind everything she's ever known, in a story pitched as Tangled meets Princess Mononoke." Got to say, that's a very decent pitch. Cherry Zong posted to Instagram, saying "It's official!!! So thrilled to finally announce my debut graphic novel RED coming 2024 🗡I can't wait to share these stories and for you to meet Red and Sil and all of my other brain babies. Huge thanks to my agent @draper_claire and to my editor Jean!"

Andrews McMeel Publishing, , formerly Andrews, McMeel and Parker and Andrews and McMeel, was founded in 1970 by Jim Andrews and John McMeel, two newspaper executives who saw an opportunity to create a publishing company focused on producing high-quality, innovative products. The company's first book was The Universal Almanac, followed by a series of successful books and calendars, including The Far Side calendars and books by cartoonist Gary Larson and The Calvin and Hobbes books by Bill Watterson.
