Frank Beddor is een wereldmaker die de ware geschiedenis van Wonderland durfde te onthullen. Zijn werken verkennen parallelle avonturen en dompelen lezers onder in ingewikkelde, verweven verhalen. Zijn schrijven biedt een uniek perspectief op bekende personages, waarbij hun verborgen motivaties en lotsbestemmingen worden onthuld.
Set in Wonderland's Millinery Academy, the story follows Cadet Hatter Madigan as she navigates a unique training ground for those destined to protect queens. Here, students are groomed to become assassins, bodyguards, and spies, blending elements of fantasy and adventure. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the challenges of a dangerous profession, all while immersing readers in a vibrant and whimsical world.
Wonderland finally seems as if itÂ's getting back to normal. Queen Alyss is back on the throne, and reunited with her childhood sweetheart, Dodge. But the fight for Wonderland is far from over. King Arch, in nearby Boarderland, is conniving to overthrow everything for which Alyss and her friends have fought so hard. Even worse, King Arch has found an ally in the recently returned Redd, who has been biding her time and gathering new and evil assassins in the Catacombs of Paris. With enemies circling and danger looming, someone close to Alyss lets her downÂ-and threatens the future of Wonderland forever.
When Alyss Heart returns to her rightful place on the throne of Wonderland, she is put to the test as enemies, both inside and outside the borders of her kingdom, push their own agendas and wield horrific weapons, while she strives to unify them all.
The battle for Wonderland has come to a head and the Heart Crystal's power has been depleted thanks to King Arch's devastating weapon, WILMA. Imagination has been wiped from the land and the people of Wonderland have lost their greatest asset. Most alarmingly, even Queen Alyss is without her powers as her Queendom hangs in the balance.
When she is cast out of Wonderland by her evil aunt Redd, young Alyss Heart finds herself living in Victorian Oxford as Alice Liddell and struggles to keep memories of her kingdom intact until she can return and claim her rightful throne.
Virtuous Queen Alyss, who has lost the power of imagination, and her murderous aunt Redd battle for control of Wonderland.
A 152-pages of artwork by Sami Makkonen and Tyson Schroeder that includes all 10 webisodes with cover art by Bill Sienkiewicz in trade paperback exclusive. "Since the launch of the Hatter M series, we've received queries and sightings from around the world. Our mailbox has been full of probing questions, 19th century photographs, historical sightings, family anecdotes and recovered alchemite knives arriving from every corner of the globe as evidence of Hatter's time on Earth. Some of our readers joined us in documenting Hatter's search through the medium of sequential art. We have in the past released the adjunct tales as webisodes. For the first time, we are publishing the webisodes as a collection in Seeking Wonder. Savor these tales of deep travel as each adds another layer to the mythic spectrum of the mysterious top-hatted visitor from Wonderland."--Author's website
