The Mighty Bite cover

A hilarious new younger graphic novel—the start of a new series—from the bestselling creator of the Nathan Hale’s Hazardous Tales series!

From the cartoonist behind Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales comes a wacky new graphic novel series! What happens when a couple of prehistoric creatures want to become internet stars? Trilobite and Amber (a walking whale) dream of fame and fortune. They don’t realize that most of the world thinks that they’re extinct. When a wandering paleo-newscaster introduces them to the world of internet videos, they hop at the chance to get behind the camera. The competition for internet fame will be fierce—Trilobite and Amber will face off against ancient sea creatures, talking cacti, floating cat heads, and more! Friendships will be tested, allies will be made, and cameras will be smashed! Our heroes will have to use all of their newfound skills when they find themselves competing in an all out video-making battle royale! With laugh-out-loud gags and outrageous, elaborate artwork, fans of Dog Man and InvestiGators have never seen anything like Nathan Hale’s The Mighty Bite!

***STARRED REVIEW***
“[W]onderful humor, and the cast of predominantly extinct characters is wholly original. . .The panels are wonderfully paced, with each shot as beautifully framed and expertly lit as the video battles described within.”

* Booklist *

“[A] perfect choice for those who find joy in madcap comics in the vein of James Kolchalka. . . [A] Kooky charmer. . . [A]n exuberantly goofy romp.” * Kirkus Revie
