Isle of Elsi Adventures #6 is now available for online ordering! This full-color, floppy comic book collects the first 28 pages of “R.J. Jr. in The Underground Underground” which picks up right where the second Isle of Elsi book collection left off.

When Draziw the Wizard casts a spell incorrectly in Nogard the Dragon’s cave, hundreds of stalagmites and stalactites come to life! This mishap leads Rex and Sally into an adventure deep underground where they discover a clan of dwarves. Mysteries abound the first installment of this action-packed story!

I’m also offering an Isle of Elsi Adventures Underground Preorder Pack for the four issues which will collect the entire 113 pages of “R.J. Jr. in The Underground Underground.” Each issue will be sent as they become available, while also saving a bit on shipping costs.

• Issue #6 is currently available, and will ship immediately.
• Issue #7 will ship in November 2024
• Issue #8 will ship in January 2025
• Issue #9 will ship in March 2025

The Isle of Elsi Book Two Kickstarter just wrapped up, at 122% of its funding goal! THANK YOU to the 180 backers who made this possible, and to all the folks who helped me spread the word about the campaign!

Last week the Isle of Elsi Book Two Kickstarter reached 100% of its funding goal! The campaign continues until July 7 and any extra funds will help cover additional costs and allow me to order more copies of the book! Thanks to everyone who backed the project, or helped me spread the word about it!

This morning in a Kickstarter update I revealed the quote that will adorn the back cover of Isle of Elsi Book Two, by Luke Pearson:

“In a world full of fantastical worlds for children, there is nothing exactly like Isle of Elsi. It’s on one hand a world of friendly faces and bright colours, making it an immediately welcoming comic for young readers to explore on their own. On the other hand, the wordplay, attention to detail and refusal to oversimplify make it an ideal world for kids and adults to explore together. Presenting everything in crystal clear cartooning with a satisfying indie comic charm, Alec Longstreth has crafted a timeless children’s saga; a world of sincerity and community as well as dragons and adventure. And it’s a world I believe readers will want to revisit time and time again.” – Luke Pearson, Hilda and the Mountain King

Luke is one of my favorite creators, so it really means a lot to me to receive this thoughtful quote about my work from him. If you have never read any of his Hilda books, you should check them out! They are some of my favorite comics ever, and it has been such a joy sharing them with my kids.
