Happy Book Birthday to YAHGZ: THE CRAYNOBI TALES! 30 years in the making, Famous Cartoonist Art Baltazar is thrilled to bring you back to the Land of Yahgz and take you on an awesome adventure full of heroes, villains, and giant green gorillas today!
YAGHZ: The Craynobi Tales tells the story of Craybi Craynobi and his son, Crayski Craynobi, as they adventure through mythical lands to try to save the city of Yahgz and its people, the Yahgeez, from the Giant Green Gorilla and other foes. With their wits and helpful allies, they must work together to save Yahgz in this zany new graphic novel series.
The launch of YAGHZ is hugely personal for Art. He detailed his connection to the story:
“In a land of mystical wonder, magic, and mystery…our hero CRAYBI CRAYNOBI is called upon to defend the land of YAHGZ against the threats of evil monsters and diabolical creatures!
YAHGZ is a story I had on my mind for the last 30 years. It’s the first story I wrote when I first began my comic book career in 1992. Now with my years of Famous Cartooning experience, the CRAYS return to bring their epic story to the mainstream masses!
When Madcave/Papercutz asked me to submit the cover for my new book titled YAHGZ, I couldn’t believe it. I was overwhelmed. My family immediately danced with me in the kitchen. Its true.
YAHGZ is very special to me and I hope you join me on this journey. AW YEAH!”
Papercutz can’t wait to share this book with the world. Art’s incredible spirit and energy come alive in his creation of the Craynobis and the world of YAGHZ.
