We all know Emily the Strange is the world's weirdest thirteen-year-old, but do you have any idea how that came to be? Would you believe that Emily wasn't always the curious and confident stranger we know today? After three years and a slew of great short-story explorations of Emily's eclectic life, creator/writer Rob Reger and artist Buzz Parker are back with the first full-length Emily comic-book series! For any girl, a thirteenth birthday is a big deal , and that's doubly-even triply!-true for Emily. Emily doesn't know it yet, but a surprise gift from a long-lost aunt is more than just a family heirloom -- it also holds the key to unlocking the mystery of her lineage and the secrets of her fate! Unfortunately, a strange creature called El Viego knows what Emily doesn't, and he has no intention of letting Emily keep her mysterious heirloom!
