SPX Debut: Moonbeard Volume One
Pikitia Press are proud to present James Squires' MOONBEARD Volume One, the first of our SPX debut books. MOONBEARD Volume One launches at SPX in mid September and will be available elsewhere immediately after. This handsome volume collects 120 pages of James's extremely popular and terrifyingly hilarious webcomic Moonbeard along with exclusive new comics. A tight package of unexpected humour and wit-filled absurdity, Moonbeard brings good cheer for everyone!
Get a taste, just a little taste with Snasnakes, the first Moonbeard sampler comic available now in Te Pikitia Store.
