Adventure Time Vol. 1: Best of Buds - Paperback

by Nick Winn (Author), Derek M. Ballard (Author), Nick Winn (Illustrator)

C'mon, grab your friends and head to distant lands for a brand-new ADVENTURE (er, TIME!)!

When Finn and Jake save the newly installed Computer Princess from the clutches of the evil Ice King--he just wants a bride, OK, is that too much to ask?!--the two escort her back to the Computer Kingdom, where she gives the Best of Buds a new quest: find the powerful guide for heroes, the Enchiridion, and bring it back to her so she can scan it for her digital archive! But where are they going to find it? And how?!

From songwriting with lovesick poets to attending art shows with megalomaniacs to dance battles with the Cat Queen in the funky reaches of outer space, Finn and Jake find themselves on a truly mathematical (and dare we say . . . radical?!) journey on their quest to complete CP's request--but surely nothing can stop the Best of Buds! That is to say, surely their friendship is totally, completely, definitely not about to be put to the test! Right?

Written and drawn by Annie-nominated designer for TV and feature animation Nick Winn, highlighting a host of talented artists and featuring backup stories by Adventure Time alum Derek Ballard (Cartoonshow), this new Adventure Time series is one you won't want to miss!

Collects issues #1-4 of the new Oni Press Adventure Time series.
