Dav Pilkey, author and illustrator of the popular Dog Man graphic novel series, is set to release a new book in the Cat Kid spinoff series. Cat Kid Comic Club: Influencers will be published by Scholastic’s Graphix imprint on November 28.
In the club’s newest adventure, the news that one of their comics will be published brings up concerns for the members, including questions about leadership opportunities and how to remain creative. Influencers marks the fifth installment of the Cat Kid Comic Club series; since launching in December 2020, the series has more than 10 million copies in print, and has been translated in 37 languages.
The Cat Kid Comic Club will also be hitting the stage as a musical, premiering next month at the Lucille Lortel Theater in New York City as part of TheaterWorksUSA’s Family Summer Theater program. Kevin Del Aguila and Brad Alexander, the team behind Dog Man: The Musical!, wrote the musical adaptation, and Marlo Hunter is director and choreographer. Performances will run from July 21 through August 27.
