About The Book

After 25 years, the magic is Back! Created by writer Todd Dezago and artist Mike Wieringo, Tellos is the wildly imaginative, gorgeously illustrated adventure of a group of unlikely heroes facing a dark evil that is spreading across magical lands.

Tellos is a high adventure fantasy world populated with talking animals, mystical mages, pirate queens, and creatures only spoken of in myth and legend. Tellos is the story of a boy, Jarek, and his tiger companion, Koj, as they discover the delicate balance between good and evil in this magical realm—and their part in it.

With the aid of Serra, a determined sea captain, and a pair of unlikely thieves, they embark on a journey to confront the dreaded Malesur, a magical young man who has come to power, spreading darkness across the lands… and hunting the unsuspecting Jarek.

An action-packed, sometimes humorous, sometimes emotional, always suspenseful thrill-ride, Tellos is an experience that shouldn’t be missed. Long on the list of “The 100 Graphic Novels You Should Read (Before You Die)”, Tellos has become an industry favorite and is now available again for a new generation of readers!

For fans of high-adventure epics like Amulet, Bone, Lightfall, and Three Thieves.

About The Illustrator

Mike was born in Vicenza, Italy and grew up in rural Virginia, where he fell in love with comics, science fiction, and fantasy. After graduating from VCU with a degree in Fashion Illustration, “‘Ringo!” (as he signed his work) went on to become a fan-favorite artist on such iconic characters as Flash, Superman, Robin, Spider-Man, Rogue, and Fantastic Four working with some of the premier writers in the industry. But his greatest love was working on Tellos, getting to populate an entire world with fantastical characters from his own imagination.
