October 15, 2015 (Los Angeles, Calif.) - What do you do when you’ve received invitations to every costume party in Ooo on the same night? Go to all of them, of course! BMO and Jake are dressed up and ready to party-hop in Adventure Time: Masked Mayhem, the sixth Adventure Time original graphic novel from KaBOOM!, the award-winning all-ages imprint of publisher BOOM! Studios, and Cartoon Network Enterprises, the licensing and merchandising arm of the network.
 
Detective BMO and his sidekick, Jake, are on the case when they discover that every party they attend has one thing in common: a prankster! Join them as they travel all across Ooo to catch the culprit while still enjoying some fun times with friends in this 160 page, full-color adventure from writer Kate Leth (Power Up; Patsy Walker, A.K.A. Hellcat) and artist Bridget Underwood (Adventure Time: Graybles Schmaybles), with a backup story by Meredith McClaren (Heart in a Box, Hinges).
 
“We’re thrilled to have Kate and Bridget back for more Adventure Time stories,” said BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “These original graphic novels give us a chance to see all sorts of characters teaming up for madcap adventures throughout Ooo, and we’re excited to continue bringing them to fans.”
 
KaBOOM!'s award-winning Adventure Time comics are based on the hit Cartoon Network original series. From the mind of series creator Pendleton Ward and produced by Cartoon Network Studios, Adventure Time follows the unlikely heroes Finn and Jake, best buddies who traverse the mystical Land of Ooo and encounter its colorful inhabitants—and always find themselves in the middle of heart-pounding escapades.
