| Working on these new stories is a dream come true for IDW Editor Riley Farmer. “As a girl who grew up in the early 2000s, so many of my childhood memories are centered around American Girl, from getting my first doll (Kit Kittredge), to devouring the books, to circling everything in the catalog.” Farmer knows how much these dolls and their treasured tales mean to fans and has worked tirelessly to make sure the graphic novels stay true to the magical and meaningful experiences that American Girl fans have come to expect. “American Girl has always prioritized rich, girl-centered stories that weave their characters into America’s history, and IDW and our creative teams are thrilled to bring those stories, and new ones, into the graphic novel space. Readers can look forward to well researched, detailed, and diverse stories that will tug on the heartstrings of both new and existing fans.”
“American Girl is excited to partner with IDW to bring our beloved historical characters to the graphic novel format to further extend our storytelling with readers,” says Jodi Goldberg, Sr. Director Content Development, American Girl. “The exciting new mysteries across time and fun-filled retellings of our characters’ original stories provide delightful modern twists on the classics that are sure to resonate with today’s readers. There’s something for everyone!”
Arriving in 2025 will be MEET JOSEFINA(February), and ISABEL AND NICKI VERSUS THE BIGFOOT BANDIT: AMERICAN GIRL MYSTERIES ACROSS TIME (July).
