About the Author

Stefan Petrucha's been writing comics and novels for - whoa! A really, really long time. A lot of his stuff tends to be pretty scary, like Topp's X-Files comic, or his graphic novel, Kolchak: The Devil in the Details (which was nominated for a Stoker award in 2003!), but then again he's also written over 150 Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck comics for Egmont Publishing in Denmark. He's also signed a four book deal with Penguin's new teen imprint, Razorbill, to revive his incredibly cool comic creation, Squalor, in novel form. He lives in Westchester County, NY with his two daughters, Maia and Margo (both of whom he hopes will be reading these Nancy Drew graphic novels), and his wife and fellow writer, Sarah.

 

Sho Murase is half Japanese and half Korean but her first language is Spanish because she grew up in Spain. She moved from Europe to Vancouver and from Vancouver to Maverix Studios in California, where she works in animation and draws comics that won't leave her enough time to sleep. She is the author of "Sei, Death and Legend" published by Image Comics and is currently also working on her own graphic novel series "ME2" for Tokyopop.

4.0 out of 5 stars Charmed Bracelet: A New Nancy Drew Hit!, March 26, 2007

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Charmed Bracelet (Nancy Drew Graphic Novels: Girl Detective #7) (Paperback)

I was over-excited when I found this volume of the Nancy Drew graphic novels. As a big fan of manga (japanese comic books), I like to read cine-manga (kind of like regular comic books), too. The graphic novels are okay, but I love Nancy Drew's makeover!! Her hair is way cooler than it used to be, but I can't help but wish the graphic novels were a bit thicker. If you like thin books, go ahead and buy it, but for thicky thicky book readers, step away! Even though I like thick books over thin ones, my love for Nancy Drew mysteries allows me to compromise.;)
