COVER BY CAITLIN ROSE BOYLE
PORTLAND, OR (June 3rd, 2025) Oni Press, the multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher of groundbreaking comics and graphic novels since 1997, is proud to present FRANKIE AND THE CURIOUS COCOON QUEST! From Caitlin Rose Boyle (Jonesy, Frankie and the Creepy Cute Critters, and Frankie and the Beastly Bog Song) comes the third Frankie Fairy adventure perfect for young explorers! Join the quest when the charming, critically acclaimed series continues on March 10th, 2026!
Frankie Fairy loves to learn about creepy critters! Joined by her biologist mom and equipped with a field guide full of creepy critter facts, Frankie finds all aspects of nature fascinating! That is until Tuna, her beloved pet wooly bear caterpillar, is nowhere to be found. Frankie’s mom thinks Tuna must finally be entering metamorphosis—a time of change when Tuna would transform from a cuddly caterpillar to a flying moth. Frankie wants Tuna to stay the same little fuzzy worm she’s always been. But when she discovers the beauty of the transforming world around her, will she accept that one day, everybody—even Tuna—experiences some kind of change?
“FRANKIE AND THE CURIOUS COCOON QUEST is about transformation in the world around us, and the metamorphosis we go through on a personal level as we grow to embrace our best possible selves,” said Caitlin Rose Boyle. “As she learns about changes that insects and animals go through in the natural world, Frankie also has to learn to embrace the future with open arms—whatever form it may take. It’s a story that’s really close to my heart, and I did my best to put it on the page in a way that kids and parents alike can both enjoy!”
