Hi friends, I've just posted an image of the front cover of my next book, "Billy Clikk: Creatch Battler": http://www.markcrilley.com It won't hit stores until...
The Billy Clikk children's book from Random House looks very cool! As Akiko has gone from comic book to children's book, is it possible that we could see Billy...
HUH??!! Hmmm, interesting.............. Seems really cool, though. Can't wait to read it. I haven't read Journey to Toog yet, i've been trying to finish ...

Ok, everybody loves Poog, Gax, Spuckler, Beeba, and of course Akiko. But who is your favorite Akiko character NOT in that group? And why? (I'll hold off my...
