Described by Kirkus Reviews as a “classic good-versus-evil story with an edgy, black-humor feel (that) is visually compelling,” and hailed by Publisher’s Weekly as “a masterpiece of middle school angst,” there is a lot to like about the Crumrin Chronicles line of graphic novels.

Over 20 years ago, the world of Courtney Crumrin— the tween curmudgeon witch — was brought to life by Eisner Award-nominated writer and cartoonist Ted Naifeh (Night’s Dominion, Princess Ugg). Now, Oni Press—the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997—is announcing the return to the world of the mystical and magical in the final volume of the acclaimed follow-up series with THE CRUMRIN CHRONICLES VOL. 3: THE WILD & THE INNOCENT … coming to comic shops and bookstores everywhere this October!

Will Crumrin, the boy who spent a hundred years in the realm of the faeries, is a bit of a trouble magnet. After defeating the dreadful forest spirit Blodeuwedd, he’s hoping for a low-key summer with his best friend Tucker—but low-key gets flipped on its head when Tucker ropes Will into coming along to a real-life adventure summer camp with them and their girlfriend, Cinnamon.

As feelings grow more complicated, the trio find themselves suddenly embroiled in a dark magic that seems to have followed Will. With their fellow campers disappearing one by one, Will and Cinnamon soon find themselves the last ones standing. Can they put their feelings of resentment aside to rescue Tucker and their friends? Or will everyone become trapped in summer camp . . . forever?

The bewitching long-running series casts its final spell on October 10th in an all-new original graphic novel concluding the mystical adventures of Courtney’s little brother, Will – the latest must-read installment of Ted Naifeh’s long-running COURTNEY CRUMRIN cycle.
