Spring Break, 2009: Five days, three pals, and one huge metropolis. Roaming marks a triumphant return to the graphic novel and a deft foray into new grownup fiction for Caldecott Medal authors Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki. Over the course of a much-anticipated journey to New York, an surprising fling blossoms between informal acquaintances and throws a long-term friendship off-balance. Emotional tensions vibrate wildly towards the resplendently illustrated backdrop of town, capturing a spontaneous queer romance in all of its fledgling glory. Slick consideration to the small print of a bustling, intimidating metropolis are softened with a palette of muted pastels, as if seen by means of the eyes of first-time vacationers. The awe, surprise, and occasional stumble alongside the best way come to life with gorgeous accuracy. Roaming is the third collaboration from the critically acclaimed group behind Skim and Governor General’s Literary Award winner This One Summer. Moody, atmospheric, and teeming with life, the magic of this comics duo leaks by means of the pages with lush and beautiful pen work. The Tamakis’ singular, elegant imaginative and prescient of an city paradise slowly revealing its imperfections to the tune of its guests’ rhythms is a masterpiece―a future traditional for generations to return.

Mariko Tamaki can be a author on Batman, Thor & Loki, Crush & Lobo, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man & Venom, Green Lantern, Buffy, Harley Quinn and graphic novels Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me and I Am Not Starfire. Two years in the past, Abrams ComicArts introduced her Surely Books as an LGBTQ+ targeted imprint of graphic novels. Her cousin Jillian Tamaki is thought for Super Mutant Magic Academy, Boundless and They Say Blue.

Roaming by Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki shall be revealed on the twelfth of September, 2023. And a signed version is offered immediately from Drawn & Quarterly.
