Graphic Connection: A FLIGHT OF ANGELS

Hark. A FLIGHT OF ANGELS lands in stores today and the media are in awe.

USA TODAY spoke with artist Rebecca Guay (Magic: The Gathering) and one of the book’s 5 writers, Holly Black (The Spiderwick Chronicles) about their collaboration and where their fascination with angels began. Check out the preview here.

SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE gives it a rave review saying “Occasionally someone executes a standard storytelling device with such dazzling skill that it reminds you why that device became standard in the first place. Rebecca Guay is that someone, with A FLIGHT OF ANGELS. . . . A breathtaking artistic tour de force.”

And THE ROMANTIC TIMES gives A FLIGHT OF ANGELS it’s top rating, 4 ½ stars.

A FLIGHT OF ANGELS

Angels, like fairies, are mystical creatures that fascinate people everywhere.

This Fall, the bestselling YA author Holly Black of The Spiderwick Chronicles teams up with Bill Willingham of Fables fame, Alisa Kwitney (The Dreaming, Flirting In Cars), Louise Hawes (The Vanishing Point), and T. D. Mitchell (The Traitor King) to explore their diverse mythology in A FLIGHT OF ANGELS. From tales of the dangerous to the all-powerful to guardian angels and angels of death, A FLIGHT OF ANGELS is a gorgeous graphic novel lushly painted by Rebecca Guay.
