The Lions of Valletta

By: Ursula Murray Husted

It is the story of two young cats looking for the meaning of life. Cilla thinks that the good life can found with people while her friend Betto just doesn't want her to be hit by a car. Together they explore the European landscape, architecture, history, and art history in the hopes of finding greater truths and fish heads- whichever come first. "In The Lions of Valletta, creator Ursula Murray Husted gives us a cat's odyssey that is in turns sweet, sad, and a little scary, and for good measure she throws in a beautifully drawn tour of Malta." Trina Robbins, author of Pretty in Ink, Women Cartoonists from 1896-2013 and The Chicagoland Detective Agency graphic novel series "...I want to read it, and I especially want to see my young friends read it." Charles Brownstein, Executive Producer of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund "Ursula Murray Husted not only crafts a wonderfully charming story that includes lessons in art history and a peek at a place one would not necessarily think to visit, she does it with some of the sweetest cat characters to grace the comic pages. And everyone knows that cats make everything just that much better." Kris Dresen, creator of She Said, Manya, and Max & Lily
