Behold these glimpses of an early advance copy of the bigger, even better second volume of Leslie Stein’s Eye of the Majestic Creature. The continuing story of our hero Larrybear fleshes out her backstory and gives her a potential new love interest. Depth of character and keenness of observation elevate these warm, offbeat stories far above your average slacker comedy and create a world you’ll want to hang out in. Imagine if Buddy Bradley were a gentle, artsy, laid-back girl instead of a grouchy, cynical, rage-prone guy. Add a dash of magical realism and psychedelia. Spin around in circles a few times. You’re getting the feel.
We expect the book to be available toward the end of next month. You can read a 15-page excerpt and pre-order a copy here; we also have a nice discount offer on Volumes 1 and 2 together so you can get the whole story at once.

Is Larrybear comics’ new Manic Pixie Dream Girl? Nah, she’s far too mellow. You’ll fall in love with her all over again in the second volume of Leslie Stein’s Eye of the Majestic Creature, at the printer now for availability in late June. This installment finds her having further adventures in the city and being courted by a flower-faced fella, and takes some looks back at her childhood and adolescence. And of course her walking, talking menagerie of musical instruments is along for the ride again.
Critics called Vol. 1 ”a treat,” “cute and sad and familiar,” “phenomenal,” “irresistible,” “a triumph,” “such a pleasure” and “a joy from cover to cover.” And we think Vol. 2 is even better! Point your majestic peepers at our 15-page excerpt, and pre-order this book right here.
