Yippee! The first book of the popular Alex Rider series is finally a graphic novel!

Stormbreaker (an Alex Rider Adventure)
ISBN: 014240165X
by Anthony Horowitz
Philomel Books

With break-neck speed, the 14-year-old reluctant British boy, at first an average student and orphan, gets involved in finding the killer of his uncle, formerly employed by the Special Operations unit of M-16. Alex’s job is to infiltrate Sayle Enterprises, creator of the supercomputer Stormbreaker, in disguise as a computer contest winner, to see what tycoon Sayle has up his sleeve. Between being closely-guarded by a well-dressed evil henchwoman and being hunted by a deadly killer who always gets his way, Alex’s chance to stop the deployment of Stormbreaker before it does in thousands of innocent British citizens looks slim. Fans of Horowitz know how brilliantly he can succeed, and will hope for more. Japanese sisters Kanako Damerum and Yuzuru Takasaki create full-color action-packed pages reminiscent of manga. Stay tuned for further installments.
