About the Book
Publisher's Weekly called Pantheon High "truly a one-of-a-kind work that entertains with intelligence and humor." The detailed story imagines all of the characters of the various world mythologies living together in one universe-and sending their children to the same high school in Los Angeles. The intricate and detailed artwork includes tons of clever puns and historical references hidden throughout; a much-needed glossary at the end points out the mythical background of many of the sight gags and references.

About the Authors
The husband and wife team of Terry and Patty LaBan collaborate on Edge City, a comic strip collection that follows a hip Jewish-American family as they juggle careers, relationships, and tradition. Terry illustrates the strip and shares character and plot development equally with Patty, a licensed social worker and family therapist. The LaBans live in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

About the Book
Edge City introduces readers to husband, father, weekend rocker, and busy courier service owner Len and his constantly self-improving wife Abby, whose titles include professional therapist, mom to children Colin and Carly, and daughter to active older adults Morris and Edna. Edge City is the first cartoon to feature a Jewish family maneuvering to balance relationships and tradition with dual careers, overbooked kids, long commutes, and pervasive high-tech gadgetry. Edge City is nationally syndicated to newspapers, including the Austin American-Statesman.
