Alex Puvilland was born in France where he grew up reading his
father's comic books. He now lives in Los Angeles with his
ridiculously talented wife and two extraordinary children, Leo and
Adrien. He works for Dreamworks Animation, and does comics whenever
he has a moment. Alex co-illustrated Prince of Persia and Templar.
"A little dark, a little twisted, and completely enthralling."
--Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Lunar
Chronicles and Heartless
"As frightening as Spill Zone can be, though, its greatest asset is
its muscle-tensing suspense. Reading it feels like binge-watching a
great cable series, complete with the same feeling of despair you
get when you finish the final episode and realize you've got a long
time to wait for the next season." --The New York Times "Puvilland,
an animator for DreamWorks, has a rough, kinetic style that brings
to life the rough, kinetic world of Spill Zone." --Los Angeles
Review of Books "If Katniss Everdeen's your gal, you're going to
want to meet Addison Merritt." --Entertainment Weekly "Amazing."
--io9 "Expect some stunning sci-fi spectacle when Addison ventures
into the Spill Zone." --A.V. Club "Westerfeld...establishes several
compelling mysteries in this series opener, and Puvilland captures
the haunting surreality of the Spill Zonethrough an unearthly
pastel/neon palette that oozes a sense of wrongness every moment
Addison spends there." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
"This unnerving, gripping title--Westerfeld's first original
graphic novel--is bound to entice older comics fans, especially
those interested in darker sci-fi and nuanced characterization."
--School Library Journal, starred review
"Westerfeld handles the spooky business of the infected town
magnificently, spiking the eerie and inexplicable with moments of
genuine horror, while always keeping the emotional tensions of his
highly accessible teenage protagonist at the center." --Booklist,
starred review "Full-color illustrations are appropriately wild,
jagged, and threatening. Readers will be demanding the next
installment as they close this one." --Kirkus "It's clear from the
movie-ready visual images that the illustrator is primarily an
anima- tor, and the panels are a worthy match for the clever,
memorable text."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "This
first entry in a creepy, addictively suspenseful graphic novel
series makes for compulsive reading." --Horn Book
