“I absolutely could not put this down. Stunning art, a heartwrenching story, characters I truly root for—this should be on everyone’s reading list.” --Mark Waid The year is 1944. Allied forces fight the enemy on Europe's war-torn beaches, another battle begins in a child's bedroom in Brooklyn. When the nightmarish Boogeyman snatches a boy and takes him to the realm of the Dark, the child's playthings, led by the toy soldier known as the Colonel, band together to stage a daring rescue. After facing the tragic loss of one of their own and surviving the twisted board game town of Hopscatch, Max the teddy bear leads his wounded and weary companions into the ruins of an abandoned zoo. Here they will uncover one of the Dark’s oldest secrets, a mystery that will lead them straight to the savage maw of the jungle. This book continues the story that began in the New York Best Selling Graphic novel, The Stuff of Legend ~ Book 1: The Dark. It is a haunting and untimately redemptive tale of loyalty, camaraderie and perseverance in the face of staggering odds. “This is a loveingly illustrated and told story. As familiar as our childhoods, yet as fresh as the world was to us then. Lovely to see a comic telling this kind of story.” --David Petersen, creator of Mouse Guard
