Once Upon a Time a little tin slave with a clock for a heart broke all the rules—he found love, took a name, and escaped his masters, embarking on an epic journey to save his beloved. Though his adventure didn’t turn out as planned, he returned to his people and led them to freedom.
The freedom Canto won is in danger when he discovers his people’s clocks will stop unless they return to captivity. He and his friends Falco, Rikta, and Veratta embark on a new, perilous adventure to save the lives of all their people. On their quest, they’ll encounter old friends, relentless monsters, and the village of the mysterious Hollow Men. Canto and his friends must lift the curse and save their people before their time runs out.
Eisner and GLAAD Media Award nominated writer David M. Booher and singular artist Drew Zucker team up with accomplished storyteller and artist Phillip Sevy to tell Canto’s tale in this high-quality hardcover reprint of the second CANTO series with a brand new cover.

“The story has a powerful identity and depth. The cuteness of the design can easily lead to misconceptions about the emotional power the story has.”—But Why Tho?
“It continues to be the best all-ages comic out there. Scratch that--just one of the beset comic books out there, period, that just happens to be all-ages.”—Word of the Nerd
“Canto II: The Hollow Men has all the bones of a soon-to-be classic fantasy tale built on an already established and interesting world.”—Adventures in Poor Taste
“Steadily creating a modern heroic myth.”—Comic Crusaders
DAVID M. BOOHER grew up in a small Ohio town reading Stephen King, watching The Goonies, eating Lucky Charms in front of He-Man, trading Garbage Pail Kids, playing Nintendo, and going outside. Channeling his love for all the best 1980’s sci-fi and fantasy, he has co-created and written comic series CANTO, POWERLESS, the LGBTQ-led KILLER QUEENS, ALIEN BOUNTY HUNTER, and the middle grade series TALES OF LAKE EERIE. He's also written several features. A lawyer by training, he lives in Los Angeles with his husband and the true masterminds behind their operation--their adopted greyhounds.
