VOLCANO TRASH (Double + Adventure) - Tapa blanda

"The action sequences are rendered in excellent detail, combining elements of video games, European comics, and manga conventions. The technology and character designs are first-rate, and this book is a joy to read, behold, and revisit. It's just plain fun." -- Stergios Botzakis, Graphic Novel Resources "Telling the tale with gleeful, off-kilter gusto, Sears borrows parts of many a fantasy masterpiece--the blocky, futuristic aesthetic of Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky; the central relationship and world-invention of Adventure Time; the clear line verve of Tintin--and combines them into something wonderfully distinctive." -- Jesse Karp, Booklist "The artwork is fantastic. The linework is clean; the style is fresh and full of life. The art puts you in a good mood just by looking at it" -- Dustin Cabeal, Comic Bastards "Sears is an American comics creator with decidedly global influences, and that makes his work a lot of fun to read." -- Elle Collins, ComicsAlliance "Reading Ben's work is so much fun. I love his use of color and his characters. It reads like he had a blast making it." - Brandon Graham, King City, Multiple Warheads, Prophet, ISLAND Magazine "Night Air and Volcano Trash -- Ben Sears' stories about Plus Man and his robot, Hank -- aren't really mysteries, but there's a weird noir feel to them, mashed up with sci-fi, action movies, comic strips and everything that's cool. For older kids, these would be fun reads." -- Erik Missio, CBC Parents "From castles and haunted beings in Night Air (think Waluigi with more one liners) to a 'Mission Impossible' type labyrinth in Volcano Trash, the hero and robot brigade continue to impress as they do things their own way through a medley of shenanigans." -- Ben Niespodziany, Neonpajamas

Corrupt cops, hive-like henchmen, begoggled boy heroes, labyrinthine HQs, unlikely team ups, heartbreaking best friend breakups, and a liberal dose of super science, zingers and explosive action. Sound like a Double+ adventure? It is. Ben Sears is a cartoonist, illustrator and musician born and raised in Louisville, KY where he continues to live and work. His Double+ character has appeared in a number of zines, online anthologies and the all-ages adventure comic Night Air, where he has been perpetually in over his head.
