At first Emily thinks that having two of herself is great but slowly begins to question that belief.

While book one remains me favourite, book two was excellent because Emily accidentally duplicates herself. Sadly I was not able to listen to these in audiobook format but I still loved them. I knew it was for me just based on the cover.” Further reading only solidifies the point that Emily and I would be good friends if we both didn’t hate other people so much.īook one was awesome and I loved the audiobook. Okay so back when I read book one I stated that “Emily is totally a kindred spirit for me and I am so glad I found her. While I try to post no spoilers, if ye haven’t read book one and ye keep reading this log then ye have been forewarned and continue at yer own peril. Rob Reger remains the key creative force behind the brand, and Buzz Parker is the key illustrator for the comic books and website.Īhoy there me mateys! This here be a combined review of the second and third books of the Emily the Strange series. Key creative people over the years (designers, graphic artists, illustrators), who have worked with Reger's Cosmic Debris design house are Buzz Parker, Brian Brooks, Grace Fontaine, Liz Baca, Noel Tolentino, Fawn Gehweiler, Jessica Gruner, Adele Pedersen and Nicomi 'Nix' Turner. With the momentum of mainstream success, several comics about Emily have also been made. Since then, Cosmic Debris has grown into a multi-million dollar firm with dozens of employees.Ĭosmic Debris has most recently moved its operations to Berkeley, California, and plans to open an Emily retail store there soon. In his Santa Cruz garage (and later an artist warehouse in San Francisco) Reger created the designs, and with Matt Reed brought them into the fashion world by creating t-shirt designs that captured the essence of this mysterious young girl with 4 black cats. Reger's friend Nathan Carrico designed Emily in 1991 for a skateboard company in Santa Cruz, where Cosmic Debris was born.
