All-ages comics and graphic novels are still a rarity in publishing. As comics have skewed to an older and more mature readership, relatively few titles are currently being published which appeal to younger readers. And, of the currently available titles, very few feature girls as the story's protagonists. Von Allan, an Ottawa-based artist and graphic novelist, is trying to tackle this problem with the publication of his all-ages fantasy graphic novel, "Stargazer.” On Sunday, November 7th, Von Allan will be formally launching “Stargazer” at Perfect Books, an independent neighbourhood bookstore in downtown Ottawa, Ontario.

The book launch will begin at 4:00 PM on Sunday, November 7th and conclude at approximately 7:00 PM. The event is open to everyone.

ABOUT:

Von Allan was born red-headed and freckled in Arnprior, Ontario, just in time for “Star Wars: A New Hope.” The single child of two loving but troubled parents, Von split most of his childhood between their two homes.
