Zen of Wonder

In Vol. 4, Royal Bodyguard Hatter Madigan’s search takes an unexpected detour when he travels ‘within’ guided by a mischievous and often maddening young girl named Nekko. Nekko’s origin is a Zen mystery, but her devotion to Hatter’s quest to find the lost Princess is unwavering. After Nekko kidnaps his Hat and leads him on a fearless chase across the rooftops of 1871 San Francisco, Hatter must acknowledge her as a teacher. It is written that when you are ready the teacher will appear, but if the teacher is a 12-year-old girl and you are a High Ranking Bladesman you may discover that all you can do is laugh.

Hatter and Nekko’s adventure around the ring of fire begins when they track a stolen samurai sword with a Wonderland connection to San Francisco’s styling 19th century hiphop crime madam Missy Tong and her eager protégé, the outspoken Lil’ Dick. A stowaway trip aboard a shanghai sailing ship ends on the Hawaiian Islands where a surfboard becomes Hatter’s vehicle to illumination. And then on to Japan! Good grief it’s Chikao and the gang, schoolhouse demons, cosplay, manga, noodles and a long lost brother from another world. Duality? No. Milliners.

  • “Deliciously imaginative! Dark but wonderful. I have not yet read the chapter book but want to--now!”
    Linda Trinkle
    “This graphic novel adaptation of Frank Beddor’s classic tale is quite exquisite. The illustrations portrayed are quite dark and add an eerie aura to the story. In this tale, Hatter M is in search for the seelie Princess whom he lost in the travel between his world and Earth. Throughout his journey he encounters evil characters that are trying to capture the princess. Very fast paced and full of action, it is sure to entertain the reader.”

    “Wow wow wow! When I first picked this up I was a little uneasy about a retake on Alice in Wonderland, but that changed after the first page. This is a completely new, high-powered, thrilling, action-packed retelling of the classic story.”
