SCARYGIRL: THE ORIGIN STORY

Before becoming the star of a major motion picture, Scarygirl was a cult character with millions of fans worldwide. This gorgeous graphic novel revives her first adventure through the pages of a book in her original 2-D glory. It also includes a selection of early sketches - with creator commentary - that brought Scarygirl and her friends to life.

Welcome to the world of Scarygirl. Abandoned on a remote beach, Scarygirl doesn't know who she is or where she's come from. Blister, a kind and intelligent giant octopus, wants to keep her safe, but Scarygirl needs answers. Who is the strange man haunting her dreams? Will Bunniguru help her unlock the mysteries of her past? Can she trust the wily forest dwellers? Her journey takes her to the edge, and beyond... Scarygirl, the film, is releasing in ANZ in September 2023, with - fingers crossed - other locations to follow. It stars the voices of Tim Minchin, Deborah Mailman, Jillian Nguyen, Sam Neill, Anna Torv and Dylan Alcott. Nathan Jurevicius is from South Australia. He was born to artistic parents and was gently coerced into a life of painting, drawing, and crafts. At the age of six, he sold his first piece rendered in marker, titled "Woman-with-a-fly-on-her-nose-in-a- phone-booth". Since that time he has relocated to various cities, including a stint in London as an editorial illustrator and Providence, Rhode Island where he freelanced for Hasbro Inc. In 2013 he became a professor at the Pictoplasma Academy in Berlin, co-tutoring a master class specializing in character design. Between 2018-2019 he was the Creative Director of Dark Slope, a studio creating Location-Based VR and AR experiences. He is best known for the Scarygirl universe, established in 2001.
