Saving Ward's Valley will be gnome mean feat! Welcome to a thrilling adventure packed with delightfully expressive artwork and unforgettable characters.

Ward is a grumpy gnome who only wants to be left alone. He never asked for company... but when his beautiful forest starts filling up with animals, it's more than just grumpiness that makes him nervous. Mysterious muck-trolls and terrifying humans are invading, and he'll need all the help he can get to defend Ward's Valley.

Bobby Curnow (Night of 1000 Wolves, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Brenda Hickey (My Little Pony) team up for an all-new adventure full of charm, color, and surprising depth.
Bobby Curnow is a writer and editor living in San Diego. He went to NYU Tisch School of the Arts and worked in film for several years before returning to his childhood love of comic books. Bobby's previous writing credits include Night of 1000 Wolves, My Little Pony and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Brenda Hickey is a comic artist and writer from Prince Edward Island, Canada. She's had an unhealthy obsession with the comics art form from a very young age, and can't remember a time when she wasn't drawing. In 2007 she graduated from the Holland College Graphic Design program in her home town of Charlottetown, and had a short stint working in layouts in animation. Now she focuses on comics, her most well known work being on IDW's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series.
