Quinne Larsen Sells First Graphic Novel, Fool's Gold, At Auction
Fool's Gold is a new graphic novel by Quinne Larsen, their debut middle-grade graphic novel, which tells the story of "the unlikely duo of enthusiastic Pili and suspicious Clover travel across an endless desert full of small towns and strange people, getting into trouble and helping those who need it—all in the hopes of solving their own mysteries, and slowly becoming friends along the way." World rights to Fool's Gold and its sequel were sold at auction and to Kiara Valdez at First Second, for publication in the summer of 2024. Quinne Larsen's agent, Kurestin Armada at Root Literary, negotiated the deal.
Quinne Larsen is a storyboard director on Costume Quest, storyboard artist on Extinct and writer on We Bare Bears. Here's an early look at Fool's Gold courtesy of Larsen.
