Follow the tabs to create your own story in this groundbreaking,
bestselling graphic novel, now with a revised 10th anniversary cover!
Celebrate 10 years of this completely original graphic novel take on a
"choose your own adventure." A boy stumbles upon the lab of a mad
scientist who asks him to choose between testing a mind-reading device,
a time machine, and a doomsday machine. Using an ingenious system of
tubes and tabs, readers can decide what to explore in this completely
engrossing experiment in storytelling. Sometimes the page reads right to
left, sometimes up and down, and sometimes jumps from beginning to end.
It's sure to appeal to kids--and comics collectors--eager for an
interactive, funny read.

"Crazy + Genius = Shiga" --Scott McCloud, author of Understanding
Comics
"If humankind ever finds itself at the brink of its own destruction and
I am given the task to fill a small, space-bound time capsule with a
collection of ten graphic novels that would present to alien eyes the
best that the cartoonists of Earth had to offer the universe, Jason
Shiga's Meanwhile would surely be among my picks." --Gene Luen Yang,
author of American Born Chinese
"A creator of comix that can be at once funny, disturbing, thoughtful,
deconstructed, and cleverly put together." --Time online
"Meanwhile is a wallop of a book/graphic novel! It delivers action,
choices, problem solving, and engagement. And it reminds me of my own
efforts in writing Choose Your Own Adventure, which I take as a great
compliment coming from Jason Shiga. I wish I had written this book! Run,
don't walk, to your favorite bookseller and pick up a copy!" --R. A.
Montgomery, Choose Your Own Adventure author
"Ingenious" --Edward Packard, Choose Your Own Adventure author
