The hit graphic novel series from YouNeek Studios and Dark Horse Comics, the inspiration for the new Cartoon Network/Max animated series, is ready to dazzle fans and newcomers in a fantastic new oversized hardcover edition collecting Volumes 1 and 2. Iyanu: Child of Wonder Library Edition Volume 1 is written by creator Roye Okupe, 2020 Glyph Comics Awards winner, for Best Female Character, YALSA 2021 Great Graphic Novel for Kids selection, and 2022 Nommo Award Winner for Best Graphic Novel!

Iyanu, a teenage orphan with no recollection of her past, suddenly discovers that she has abilities that rival the ancient deities told of in the folklore of her people. These abilities are the key to bringing back an “age of wonders,” as Iyanu begins her journey to save a world on the brink of destruction. The Corrupt—cursed wildlife and strange, divine beasts—are determined to destroy humanity unless Iyanu can stop them. A timeless fantasy quest inspired by Yoruba culture and myths—from the best Nigerian comics talent!
