The series
At a glance.
Kitty Quest is a four-book graphic novel series written and illustrated by Phil Corbett. It follows Woolfrik and Perigold as they try to become heroes in a world of monsters, magic, weird jobs and increasingly daft danger. The books are highly accessible: bold colour, expressive characters, clear panels and a lot of comedy around the gap between heroic ambition and actual competence. The series is a good bridge for readers who enjoy silly comics but want a little more quest structure and fantasy peril.

Woolfrik and Perigold become heroes
Four colourful cat-quest adventures involving monsters, tentacles, family rivalry and ghostly trouble.
Kitty Quest works best as one continuing comic-adventure arc. The first book establishes Woolfrik and Perigold's hero ambitions and the monster-hunting premise; Trial by Tentacle raises the absurd creature stakes; Sinister Sister adds a more personal rivalry; and Phantom Frenzy brings ghostly supernatural energy into the mix. The series has enough monster peril and comic combat to sit in a moderate adventure envelope, but the tone stays silly, bright and accessible. It is a strong choice for children who want fantasy danger to feel exciting rather than genuinely scary.
