Royden Lepp – illustratör

What’s to Love: We were instantly captivated by Royden Lepp’s first Rust original graphic novel, Visitor in the Field. In anticipation of the release of the fourth and final installment, we want to get readers excited all over again with this new, softcover collection containing the prologues from the three previously released volumes, plus the never-before-seen prologue from the fourth volume, in an all-new reading order. Great starting point for new readers.

What It Is: Made to look like a boy, but built for battle, Jet Jones is a robot caught in the middle of an ongoing war. While trying to save countless lives, Jet discovers there is more to him than he could have imagined. His experiences in the war set him on a journey to learn what it means to be both hero and human.

"A tale of war and remembrance, a gloriously rendered thrill ride . . . Rust is the best graphic novel I''ve read in years." – The Oregonian/Oregon Live

Young Roman Taylor struggles to keep his family’s small farm afloat as the countryside heals from a devastating world war. When a boy with a jet pack, the mysterious Jet Jones, suddenly crash lands into their barn, Roman believes the secrets of Jet’s past may be the key to their survival. But are some secrets best left untold?

A nostalgic ode to family ties and a high-octane adventure for all ages to enjoy.

Continues the Rust softcover program that began with Rust: The Boy Soldier.
