After a two-year absence, Tony MillionaireÂ’s Eisner Award-winning Sock Monkey returns in a new two part miniseries. The acclaimed Maakies cartoonist, whose work has appeared in The New York Press, The Wall Street Journal, and The New Yorker, lets his signature, titular creation loose on another adventure with his companion, Mr. Crow.

The Sock Monkey and Mr. Crow are dismayed to learn that their young friend "Inches" has taken a pet. The problem is that she has caught a seahorse and has hitched it up to her toy stagecoach. The seahorse isnÂ’t feeling too well, having been out of water for such a long time and the trouble really starts when the creatures of the sea try to rescue her.

Time.com praises Sock MonkeyÂ’s "Romantic, quaint naivete mixed with moments of modern existential horror" and The New York Press calls Sock Monkey, "lovely, like a rediscovered childrenÂ’s classic from the 19th century." MillionaireÂ’s exquisitely rendered, Victorian-influenced work returns on May 7 for the retail price of $2.99
