The Art of Over the Garden Wall Limited Edition

Explore the Unknown! This deluxe hardcover, inspired by the Tome of the Unknown, is your map to the magical behind-the-scenes world of Cartoon Network's Emmy-winning animated series Over the Garden Wall, and it looks like it came out of the show itself. The embossed cover design contains hidden references, and the appliqué is one of the first pieces of art that inspired the look of the show.

From the original Tome of the Unknown: Harvest Melody pilot, through each of the episodes, and beyond, take a strange and wonderful journey with Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice. Learn how the award-winning backgrounds were created, see animation storyboards, and even take a behind-the-scenes look at the production of the Mondo vinyl soundtrack and "For Sara" mix tape, as well as the ongoing Boom! Studios comics. This volume contains hundreds of pieces of concept art and sketches, and a comprehensive look at the show's breathtaking production art. Sean Edgar guides the tour, which includes commentary from creators Patrick McHale and Nick Cross, interviews with the cast and crew, and more!

"I'm so happy Sean and Dark Horse got this book to happen! It's been really interesting going through all my old sketchbooks, notes, and file folders in search of lost bits and pieces from the show's development," said Patrick McHale. "This handsome volume will contain a nice mixture of beautiful drawings and paintings from the series, amusing anecdotes about the process, unseen and unused artwork that didn't make the final cut, other mysterious odds and ends, and a whole lot of horrible ugly early development sketches that should inspire people to say, 'Hey, I could do better than that!'"
