LOS ANGELES, CA (April 18, 2019)<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 BOOM! Studios today announced the first-ever Rugrats original graphic novel\u00a0RUGRATS: THE LAST TOKEN<\/strong>, about the babies\u2019 journey to save the arcade from certain doom with the treasured last token, from writer Pranas T. Naujokaitis (Adventure Time<\/em>) and artist Maurizia Rubino (Steven Universe<\/em>) in stores November 2019. Join the Rugrats as they set off on a magical quest to battle monsters, hordes, and the pernicious influence of greed in the most epic adventure of all time!<\/p>\n

Stu and Drew have taken the babies to the local arcade for a relaxing day of pizza and games but one does not simply walk into the Wizard Rat Pizza Parlor Fun Time. When the arcade\u2019s token stock goes down to one, a frenzy breaks loose and darkness descends upon the arcade floor. Every child seeks the precious golden coin for their own game with no thought to the needs of all the children of Fun Time. It is up to Tommy, son of Stu, and his noble fellowship of Rugrats to guard the one token across the treacherous game room floor to the fabled volcano arcade machine, told to yield a stream of tokens if you win, in order to save the day.<\/p>\n

Naujokaitis is an Ignatz Award-nominated writer who has worked for Boom! Studios on\u00a0Adventure Time: Ice King\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Uncle Grandpa in Uncle Grandpaland<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing I always loved about\u00a0Rugrats\u00a0<\/em>is how spot on they get it when showing how kids pretend when playing. I wanted to do a story that honored those playtimes but through the eyes of Tommy and the gang,\u201d said Naujokaitis. \u201cI am honored to get to put my own small personal stamp and work with characters that I loved when I was young enough (and small enough) to still be allowed inside those plastic tubes of my youth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rubino is an illustrator of children\u2019s books and comic books based in Milan. She was an artist for\u00a0Steven Universe: Fusion Frenzy #1\u00a0<\/em>from BOOM! Studios.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very excited to work on\u00a0RUGRATS: THE LAST TOKEN<\/strong>. The story is super fun and full of references to classic fantasy stories, so it\u2019s been a really interesting book to illustrate,\u201d said Rubino. \u201cI’m very happy to be the artist who has accompanied the babies on this amazing adventure!\u201d<\/p>\n

RUGRATS: THE LAST TOKEN<\/strong>, featuring a cover by Chrystin Garland (Steven Universe<\/em>), is the latest release from BOOM! Studios\u2019 award-winning KaBOOM! imprint, home to comics for middle grade and younger readers, including licensed series such as\u00a0Adventure Time, Steven Universe, Regular Show, Ben 10,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Over The Garden Wall,<\/em>\u00a0along with original series like\u00a0Just Beyond: The Scare School<\/em>\u00a0by R.L. Stine and Kelly & Nichole Matthews,\u00a0Hex Vet\u00a0<\/em>by Sam Davies, RuinWorld by Derek Laufman, and\u00a0Pandora\u2019s Legacy<\/em>\u00a0by Kara Leopard, Kelly & Nichole Matthews.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis uproarious\u00a0Rugrats\u00a0<\/em>adventure is a tip of the hat to one of my favorite genres, fantasy,\u201d said Matthew Levine, Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cPranas and Maurizia have crafted a tale that weaves humor and action as the babies dream up some big fantasy and challenge themselves in a quest to rid the arcade of unhealthy competition. This is an epic\u00a0Rugrats\u00a0<\/em>story unlike any we\u2019ve done before! \u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Print copies of\u00a0RUGRATS: THE LAST TOKEN<\/strong>\u00a0will be available in November 2019 at local comic book shops\u00a0(use\u00a0comicshoplocator.com<\/a>\u00a0to find the nearest one) , or at the BOOM!
