Volume 1 - 1st printing. Story and art by Linda Medley. Introduction by Jane Yolen. This graphic novel tells the story of an isolated, abandoned castle, and the eccentric inhabitants who bring it back to life. A fable for modern times, Castle Waiting is a fairy tale that's not about rescuing the princess, saving the kingdom, or fighting the ultimate war between Good and Evil - but about being a hero in your own home. For the first time, Fantagraphics collects the entire Castle Waiting story into one mammoth volume - and includes the concluding chapter written and drawn especially for this volume. Hardcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 450 pages, B&W. Cover price $29.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. Story and art by Linda Medley. With its second volume, Linda Medley's witty and sublimely drawn fantasy eases into a relaxed comedy of manners as Lady Jain settles into her new life in Castle Waiting. Unexpected visitors result in the discovery and exploration of a secret passageway, not to mention an epic bowling tournament. A quest for ladies' underpants, the identity of Pindar's father, the education of Simon, Rackham and Chess arguing about the "manly arts," and an escape-prone goat are just a few of the elements in this delightful new volume. The book also includes many flashbacks that deepen the stories behind the characters, including Jain's earliest romantic entanglements and conflicts with her bratty older sisters, the horrific past of the enigmatic Dr. Fell, and more.
