Bird Boy follows the story of Bali, a 10 year-old boy, desperate to prove his worth to his Northern tribe, despite his small stature. Banned from the ceremony that would make him an adult in the eyes of his people, he takes matters into his own hands. To prove that he is capable of taking care of himself, he sets out into the forbidden forest and stumbles upon a legendary weapon.
"Stunningly beautiful, strange (in the best way possible) and refreshingly original. Oh, and that little guy is just adorable." --Mike Mignola (Hellboy)
"Anne Szabla's Bird Boy manages to catch that golden ring of design: something familiar yet somehow brand new. In these days of digital lookalikes, it's always a treat to find someone with a own voice of their own, and the craft and the courage to use it well!" --Iain McCaig
"Wow! Anne Szabla's world pulled me right in! I felt like I was on the adventure with Bird Boy! Anne's story telling is wonderfully refreshing! AW YEAH!" --Art Baltazar
