Upcoming Boom! Studios OGN Pairs Unlikely Best Friends in, JO & RUS

January 16, 2020 Off By Haven Huth

Cartoonist Audra Winslow is set to debut her middle grade original graphic novel, Jo & Rus, a story about two unlikely best friends who come together to stand their ground, at Boom! Studios, this winter.

The story centers on Jo, a middle schooler who is constantly bullied, and Rus, a high schooler in a rock band. When a mysterious one-eyed cat brings the two of them together, they learn that they are both indeed outcasts in trying to figure out what they really want in life. Only by becoming best friends do they discover who they are and what it takes to find your own happiness.

“Jo & Rus is a story for anyone that is seeking a friend. I wrote this story loosely based on personal experiences and feelings, that I not only had as a preteen, but as an adult too,” said Winslow. “This story is for the lonely doing their best.”

Jo & Rus, as part of Boom! Studios‘ Kaboom! imprint, is currently slated to hit shelves in September of 2020.
