You know I love graphic novels and this one is hilarious. Welcome to The Mighty Onion by Mark Crilley Book Tour hosted by TBR and Beyond Tours

About the Book

This hilarious illustrated novel about the chaos of the creative process follows middle schooler Eliot Quigly as he endeavors to create the best superhero comic ever—with unforgettably epic hiccups along the way!  

Eliot Quigly is sure of one thing. He is sitting on the greatest superhero comic idea of all time. Combine radioactive onion rings with a run-of-the-mill kid and you get the Mighty Onion, a crime-fighting superhero who gains extraordinary powers whenever he eats onions. It’s genius! 

Eliot can’t wait to get his brilliant idea out into the world, but there’s only one problem, he’s terrible at drawing. Eliot is about to throw in the towel when he stumbles upon the perfect illustrator—classmate Pamela Jones, who begrudgingly agrees to help.  

With his ambition and her artistic talent, there’s no stopping this dynamic comic-creating duo. But partnership is a tricky road, and creative differences arise quickly. Will Eliot and Pam stick together long enough to make this vision a reality? 

Using a mix of comic pages, journal entries, handwritten letters, and more, author-illustrator Mark Crilley explores the triumphs and tribulations of the creative process—and teamwork—in a series opener that’s unlike any you’ve seen before!

Praise for The Mighty Onion

This. Book. Is. Hilarious. I adored the multi-format of the book! There is no way it couldn’t keep you turning the pages while laughing along the way. With the perfect blend of inspiration and snarkyness, the story delivers everything you could hope for in a graphic novel. And I love me some graphic novels. The pages are fresh and feisty. The illustrations are bold and bright. It’s a hit.
