Poor Geppetto gets more than he bargained for when the marionette he carves from a stubborn piece of wood insults him and runs away into a world of trouble and mischief.So is born Pinocchio, a puppet with an insatiable desire for adventure who ignores the advice of his woodcarver father, a talking cricket, and even his own blue-haired fairy to indulge in one shameful pleasure after another, with dire and hilarious results. A hundred and thirty years haven't dulled the guillotine wit or softened the moralistic punch of Collodi's wildly inventive masterpiece.This companion volume to PINOCCHIO'S FORGOTTEN LAND features cover and title plate art by internationally acclaimed Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, and a new foreword by Scott Mignola.

What became of Pinocchio after his beloved fairy transformed him into a real boy? Was he a comfort to his father? Did his schoolmates accept him as one of their own? Were his days of mischief and disobedience behind him?Hardly!Scott Mignola’s marvelously insane, true-to-the-original sequel picks up where Carlo Collodi’s 1883 masterpiece THE ADVENTURES OF PINOCCHIO left off, following reckless Pinocchio through enchanted woods, a treacherous desert, and into the afterlife itself as he seeks a lost fortune and the forgiveness of his beloved fairy, who he fears may be dying of disappointment on his account. Some favorite characters return, along with a parade of new ones, including a monstrous crab, a beautiful enchantress who collects lost children, and a man with a bull’s head who perhaps sums it up best: “By the Emperor’s whiskers, I swear I have never seen such a thing.”This companion volume to The Adventures of Pinocchio features cover and title plate art by internationally acclaimed Hellboy creator Mike Mignola.
