A Robot. A Penguin. And a Multiversal Threat That Only Friendship Can Stop.

Posted on by Leave a comment

When a villain threatens every universe, only two unlikely best friends can stop him with the power of courage, trust, and joy. Papercutz presents Xanar & Mr. Tuxedo, the middle-grade graphic novel that throws two wildly different heroes into a collapsing multiverse, where courage, trust, and joy may be the only things holding reality together.

Written by Sean Ryan, with art by Giulia Giacomino, colors by Valerio Alloro, and letters by Eisner, Ringo, and GLAAD Media award-winning Lucas Gattoni, Xanar & Mr. Tuxedo brings together a boyish, optimistic robot and a gruff, one-eyed penguin in a story that moves across worlds, tones, and genres without losing its heart.

Friendship is a powerful thing. Hailing from two different universes, Xanar and Mr. Tuxedo are brought together because of Roy Higgins, a powerful sorcerer, determined to eradicate his sworn enemy in every single reality. Roy’s singular focus on his foe has made him paranoid, angry, violent and mean. His corrupting influence threatens to destroy every universe in existence. The only two that can put a stop to Roy, through bravery, hope, trust and joy, are new best friends, Xanar and Mr. Tuxedo.

Perfect for readers ages 10-14, Xanar & Mr. Tuxedo goes on sale July 7, 2026, in paperback (ISBN: 9781545827079 | $14.99) and hardcover (ISBN: 9781545827086 | $19.99) formats.
