–on-sale October 14, 2025–
Silver siblings Martin, Leo and Rebecca unravel mysteries along with their friend Bat Pat and cross paths with supernatural creatures of the night. But these supernatural “bad guys” are not really bad, but normal people under a curse or other-worldly characters whose actions are misunderstood by the more…well…alive. Bat Pat and the Kids aspire to be protectors of the Supernatural!!!
Bat Pat follows the spooky and comical animated adventures of the talking bat, Bat Pat, and the Silver siblings Martin, Leo and Rebecca as they unravel mysteries and cross paths with supernatural creatures of the night that lurk, haunt, shriek and dig themselves up in every dark corner of their home in Fogville – a small town that seems to be the center of all things weird in the world, a veritable magnet to ghosts, mummies, witches, and yes…werewolves! Our heroes will come to understand something important that puts a unique twist on the series: the supernatural “bad guys” are not really bad, but normal people under a curse or other-worldly characters whose actions are misunderstood by the more…well…alive. Bat Pat and the Kids aspire to be protectors of the Supernatural!!!
“As someone who grew up in an era of meddling kids solving mysteries, Bat Pat was a dream to draw. A super-fun series packed with mystery, adventure and an important message of inclusion,” said Illustrator Bill Walko. “Translating the popular Bat Pat series from animation to comic form was a blast from an artistic perspective. Kids solving spooky mysteries and meeting misfit monsters… what’s not to love? I hope the graphic novel format inspires a new wave of Bat Pat fans, because Fogville is a really fun place to visit.”
“Bat Pat was a joy to work on. The series is fun, quirky, and keeps you guessing. The ultimate “don’t judge a book by its cover” story. I like how it has elements of Scooby Doo, but with real monsters! And monsters that aren’t trying to hurt people, but they need our help. Full of imagination, mystery, and laughs – Bat Pat is a great story for kids with a wild imagination. Where things that go bump in the night aren’t to be feared, but are just misunderstood,” said writer Trevor Mueller. “I love the cast of characters, too. The Silver family is a great collection of kids who all compliment each other very well. They have a strong older sister (Rebecca) who loves adventures, mystery, and all things supernatural. A tech wizard who loves to snack (Leo). And a skeptic (Martin) who almost certainly knows monsters live among us, but denies it every time (sometimes because of wishful thinking).”
