First Second Books To Publish Tillie Walden's 'On A Sunbeam' Webcomic
First Second Books has announced a print edition of On A Sunbeam, the critically acclaimed webcomic by rising star cartoonist Tillie Walden.
The news was announced in an interview with Bookish, where Walden revealed that she has reworked the pages to work with the print format:
"I don't know if any of the challenges were unexpected, but they were still there. On a Sunbeam was initially designed for the web in its entirety. Meaning the pages I was making were really meant to be scrolled through. And I knew that bringing it into print would have its challenges and require some changing. But it's actually been a fun process to sort of reimagine my pages for this new form."
On A Sunbeam is set to hit stores in Fall 2018. Check out some pages below, and read the full interview at Bookish.
Throughout the deepest reaches of space, a crew rebuilds beautiful and broken down structures, painstakingly putting the past together. As Mia, the newest member, gets to know her team, the story flashes back to her pivotal year in boarding school, where she fell in love with a mysterious new student. When Mia grows close to her new friends, she reveals her true purpose for joining their ship—to track down her long lost love.
An inventive world, a breathtaking love story, and stunning art come together in this new work by award-winning artist Tillie Walden.
