Inhaltsangabe

What if Sailor Moon and Double Dragon combined into an action-packed queer swords and sorcery romcom? You get Beat Every 1-Up, a high-action beat 'em up with a tender heart and a humorous point of view for fans of arcade cabinets and fighting games!

Listen up! This is the fisticuff-filled tale of Princess Helia of Terrager! A natural-born fighter since childhood, Helia must head out into the wider world when her soon-to-be-husband is groom-napped on their wedding day by the atrocious ape and would-be world conqueror, Gogo. But what does a sheltered princess know of the other realms? Turns out, not a whole lot.

Luckily, Helia is joined by her (only) friend and bodyguard, the ice witch Sidra. Together, the pair will brave the deserts of Flaterra, the blizzards of Frosterra…uh, you get the idea…until they’ve rescued the wayward prince, thwarted Gogo, and punched every henchman they can find. And maybe, by the end of their journey, Helia and Sidra will realize their connection goes beyond mere friendship…

Find out in BEAT EVERY 1-UP, a young adult graphic novel that will bring a new definition to “your princess is in another castle”!

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Lan Pitts is an Atlanta-born writer based in Baltimore, Maryland. He learned to read from mini-comics that came with action figures and video game instruction manuals. He's been writing professionally for almost 20 years and doesn't think that'll end anytime soon.

Joe Hunter is an artist based out of Toledo, Ohio. Outside of the independently published BEAST HEART! STRIKERS, his work can be found in RADIANT BLACK from Image and the Ringo Award-nominated LOWER YOUR SIGHTS anthology. He likes wrestling, tokusatsu, and people doing cool things in spandex in general. He hates talking about himself and had his very patient fiance write this bio.

Frank Cvetkovic is a comic book letterer who hates when people assume that all he does is put words inside bubbles. There’s a little more to the job than that. For instance, sometimes he puts them in boxes. His work can be seen in Hey Mary!, Toxic Summer, and Gatchaman: Galactor.
