After the announcement of Scott Westerfield graphic novel, THE SPILL ZONE, here’s more news about more upcoming titles from First Second:

Calista Brill at First Second has acquired world rights to John Patrick Green‘s first solo graphic novel, Hippopotamister, in which Hippo and Red Panda must leave the zoo and get jobs in the human world… and Hippo must become Hippopotamister to be successful in this new arena. It’s slated for spring 2016.

Mark Siegel at First Second has acquired a nonfiction picture book from Ian Lendler, Shelli Paroline, and Braden Lamb, called One Day a Dot, which travels from the origin of the universe all the way to today, in 36 pages. It’s coming in 2017.

We’ll post some illustrations as soon as we get them.
