The Magical Twins

Princess Mara and her twin brother, Aram, live a life of luxury, exalting in their royal status and enjoying their magical abilities until discovering that Tartarath, the ruler of a kingdom of darkness, has kidnapped their father. In order to save their father, the twins must face a series of challenges loosely organized around the five senses. Virtually every page of this slim volume is packed with adventure, thrilling escapes, and wonderfully imagined realms as the twins and their sidekick, a goofy magical bird, combat an array of monsters, solve puzzles, and make new friends on their journey. Author Jodorowsky (The Metabarons) has a huge following for his decidedly adult sf and fantasy works but obviously delights in presenting this all-ages, candy-colored Dungeons & Dragons riff, brought to life with artwork from collaborator Bess (The White Lama).
