Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt Launch New Steampunk Graphic Novel

Spider-Man voice actor Yuri Lowenthal and Naruto voice actor Tara Platt have teamed up to launch a new steampunk graphic novel. 

Called ‘Topsy McGee and the Scarab of Solomon’, the synopsis of the story is as follows:

“Topsy McGee and her husband, Captain Sean McGee, England’s premiere adventurers, navigate a perilous landscape filled with scoundrels, villains, and all manner of danger. It is the eve of the 20th Century. While science has delivered great power to us, we are still crippled by greed, small-mindedness, and violence. 

“Their journey begins with a mysterious telegram from Topsy’s father, leading them on an airship ride to Cairo, where they must confront goons, assassins, and even cultists. With the clock ticking, they team up with legendary figures like Harry Houdini and Captain Nemo to uncover the secrets of the Scarab of Solomon before it’s too late!”

The novel will release in stores and Amazon on October 9.

The novel is based on an original short film that follows the characters and their adventures. 

“This story is all about adventure and the indomitable spirit of characters who tackle a world fraught with greed and villainy with courage and a cheeky sense of humor,” Platt said.

“I would say now’s the time for a heroine like this, but all the time is the time for a heroine like this,” Lowenthal added.

“We’re so excited for readers to jump into Topsy and Sean’s wild adventures! I love that I get to embark on this journey with my incredible wife, Tara– who is basically Topsy –as we finally bring these characters we love so much to a brand new audience. And comic books and genre storytelling have always been a way to tell BIGGER stories, and we hope that we can comment on things happening in our world today, through fun, adventure and a cup of tea,” he continued. 

Lowenthal and Platt have come up with the story, which Lowenthal wrote. 

The art, coloring, lettering, production and editorial is done by a range of people, including Denis Medri, Will Jones, Hanna Al-Shaer & Hailey Mramor, Color by Will Jones, Theodora Marron and Comfort & Adam, Malena Salinas and Dylan Klingler, Deron Bennet.
