TOBY AND THE PIXIES SC WORST KING EVER

James Turner is the mad genius behind Space Cat, one of the highlights of weekly kid’s anthology The Phoenix, and he’s teamed up with Canadian cartoonist Andreas Schuster for this collection (a Phoenix stablemate). When Toby accidentally kills the tyrannical ruler of the pixies that (unbeknownst to him or his toast-obsessed dad) live in his overgrown back garden, he is crowned their new king. Cue absolute mayhem as the pixies do their best to improve life for their new king, whether he likes it or not! Filled with Turner’s trademark absurdist humour, complemented by Schuster’s light, playful linework, this is a wonderfully fun collection.
