Synopsis

Raised by Sasquatches, Pecos Bill can tame any mythical cryptid--whether it's a Chupacabra, Loch Ness monster, or jackalope. But when he joins the Crypto Kids Gang to share his critter skills, he soon faces a bucketload of troubles. Their ranch is getting crowded, a tornado is heading straight for them, and a girl named Sue wants to ride Bill's bunyip. Are some challenges too monstrous for even Pecos Bill to rein in? In this Far Out Folktale, the legend of America's greatest cowboy gets twisted about to create a wild graphic novel retelling for kids!
