Loomis & Flark: Legend of Devils Tower

The year is 1860. At a crumbling Army outpost called Fort New York, Private Andrew J. Loomis is a neurotic, over-educated stick-in-the-mud, desperate to earn his war-hero father's respect. His bunkmate, Private Gary Flark, is a short, stout, incurable prankster whose only life goals are making people laugh and, someday, please, just once, getting a girlfriend. Together, they're the laughingstock of the base. Apart, they wouldn't survive a week.

When a prank war gone wrong puts them squarely in the crosshairs of their cigar-chewing Commanding Officer, Colonel Blanders, the two are handed a choice: rot in a military prison for life, or march halfway across an unmapped continent to find a mysterious monolith called Devils Tower and retrieve the legendary “secret weapon” rumoured to be hidden there.

Packed with over 130 original cartoon illustrations, Loomis & Flark: Legend of Devils Tower is a rollicking, heartfelt, and hilariously tall tale about accidental greatness, found family, and the redemptive power of a truly terrible prank.

Perfect for fans of William Goldman's The Princess Bride, Sid Fleischman's By the Great Horn Spoon!, Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales, and Gary Paulsen's Harris and Me, and for anyone who has ever been the weird kid, the screw-up, or the one who just wanted to be seen.

Saddle up, partner. A journey into the heart of America awaits.
