BILLY PARTRIDGE: HUPO AND THE DOOM LAGOON
Published this month by Flying Eye Books, Hupo and the Doom Lagoon is the thrilling sequel to Billy's debut graphic novel Hupo and the Wonder Thief, sending young readers back into the dreamlike world of Yip for another breathtaking adventure.
Hupo sets off across Yip in an airship, this time alongside the mysterious Zimmy, a peculiar companion who looks, sounds and smells just like him. Their destination is the Doom Lagoons, where fears can be buried beneath the water forever. But when centuries of trapped horrors are unleashed, it falls to Hupo and the suspicious Zimmy to save everyone - and Hupo must face his very worst fears of all.
With a style that carries echoes of Studio Ghibli, Billy Partridge’s digitally crafted worlds are ethereal, imaginative and full of heart. His exceptional talent for world-building and character creation makes his work a natural fit for publishing, animation and branding alike.
