The world’s most kawaii feline has already made her comics debut in IDW Publishing’s Hello Kitty and Friends series. Next summer, the four-issue Hello World! run gets the trade paperback “graphic novel” treatment as Hello Kitty and Friends: Hello World!, written by Mariko Tamaki and illustrated by Cody Lemieux. The story follows Hello Kitty as she tries to solve the disappearance of the iconic symbols of her friends’ favourite things, and keep everyone together when tensions start to rise. But that’s not the only thing hitting shelves that day. IDW Publishing is also releasing the Hello Kitty and Friends: Hello World! Supercute Mystery Box, with a one-time print run. Each box contains the graphic novel with one of four special covers (Hello Kitty, Kuromi, Cinnamoroll and a secret fourth option), four character trading cards, a keychain, and a sticker sheet. Tara McCrillis, President of Operations and Associate Publisher at IDW, said: “Blind bags turned collecting into an event, and now IDW is offering that same excitement for graphic novel collections.”
