Among the numerous curiosities that have gone unexplained in the classic tale Alice in Wonderland, perhaps the most perplexing might be who, exactly, is the “Maryann” that the White Rabbit mistakes Alice for at the beginning of the story? Lewis Carroll first made us ponder this and, years later, Walt Disney again made viewers wonder who Maryann might be in his classic feature length film based on Carroll’s book. Now, the amazingly talented folks at SLG Publishing, through a licensing deal with Disney, have finally answered this age-old question. In their beautifully executed comic book series, WONDERLAND, readers experience Alice’s fantastic world as they’ve never seen it before. Writer Tommy Kovac’s Wonderland is missing Alice herself, but it’s still populated by the other characters that make the world such a curiously exciting place. The Queen of Hearts is present, barking orders to lop off people’s heads, as is the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter and the rest of Wonderland’s beloved cast. And there are some new faces, too, including the book’s main protagonist, the mysterious Maryann herself. All are beautifully illustrated by Wonderland’s artist, Sonny Liew.The graphic novel will collect the six issues that comprised the Wonderland comic series in a beautiful, collectible, jacketed hardcover edition.

"You are here. Good. You have work to do," said the Cheshire Cat.Thus begin the adventures of ten year-old DJ and Isabelle, his twelve year-old sister, in The Storyworlds. Having unwittingly released a dangerous creature known as an imp, the kids chase after it into "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" to prevent it from erasing the book from existence. As they stay one step ahead of Alice on her journey through Wonderland, Isabelle and DJ must fix the damage the imp is doing and ultimately capture it to ensure that the story unfolds as Lewis Carroll wrote it. Along the way, they encounter wonderful characters from a classic story, fill some holes in the original tale (Why is there a giant puppy in chapter four of "Alice?"), and, of course, have some fun.
