Vikram Madan Owl & Penguin Graphic Novels Picked Up By Holiday House
Comic book creator Vikram Madan is creating two early graphic novels featuring Owl & Penguin, two unlikely friends who, despite their differences, flock together like birds of a feather. The two Owl & Penguin graphic novels have been picked up by Sally Morgridge at Holiday House. The books will be published in the autumn of 2022. Vikram Madan's agent Rosemary Stimola at Stimola Literary Studio brokered the deal for world rights.
Vikram Madan, born and raised in India, studied in the US where he found himself contributing editorial cartoons to a daily newspaper.

A third collection 'A Hatful of Dragons: And More Than 13.8 Billion Other Funny Poems' was released in 2020 by Boyds Mills & Kane. An early-reader series authored by Vikram, titled BOBO & PUP-PUP will be released by Penguin Random-House in 2021.
