Description

On behalf of Uncle Titus, the three question marks find themselves on a rainy night heading to ZEUS, a now-closed excursion site in the middle of the Nevada desert. They are supposed to pick up old but functional slot machines here. However, the relentless rain makes a return journey impossible. Justus, Peter, and Bob manage to persuade the taciturn caretaker to let them stay overnight at a nearby motel. But when more unexpected guests arrive, dark secrets about the remote location are revealed. In fact, a real UFO is said to have crashed nearby. And then Peter spots a ghostly figure haunting the area. Phantom Highway is the sixth adventure of the popular youth detectives told as a graphic novel. Alongside references to the horror classic by Gaston Leroux, 50s sci-fi, and retro games, this case also offers musical surprises. These come from the pen of New York songwriter Phoebe Kreutz. The team of Calle Claus and Christopher Tauber once again is responsible for the overall work. During the comic reading, the graphic novel appears as a film with its own soundtrack on the screen, and author and illustrator Christopher Tauber shows himself playful when he takes on all the roles of the story with gusto.
About the series: Awarded the Max & Moritz Prize for Best Comic for Children and Youth in 2018, and now an integral part of the world of the three ???. What started as a visual experiment by Kosmos Verlag in 2015 has developed into a graphic novel series with six original stories, three adaptations of popular classics from the series, and two books that shed light on the adult lives of the three ??? in noir style. Comic artist and author Christopher Tauber has contributed to all 11 books, with more in progress. https://www.piwimonium.de/
