Series: Desmond Pucket
Description: Desmond Pucket is back in this follow-up to "Desmond Pucket Makes Monster Magic." It's the sixth-grade field trip to Crab Shell Pier, home to the world's most awesome ride. Desmond hopes to convince Tina Schimsky to ride it with him, but once in the park he finds that executing his master plan will be no simple feat.
Brief description: Mark Tatulli, who was first known for his Heart of the City comic strip, took on Lio as an outlet for his dark and twisted humor. In addition to his cartooning experience, Tatulli is also an accomplished filmmaker and animator, and is the recipient of three Emmy awards for his television work. Mark currently resides in New Jersey with his wife, son, and two daughters. His children are the true joy of his life and the inspiration for much of his comic artwork.
Online: gocomics.com/lioReview Quotes: "Tatulli continues his chronicle of sixth-grade special-effects expert Desmond in a funny and cheerfully gross tale of perseverance and friendship that is realistic and wacky all at once...fans will rejoice that more adventures are on the way." (Kirkus Reviews)
