A longtime dream has come true for Jason Platt, a Davenport-based illustrator, actor and playwright.
His first two graphic novels, based on his 9-year-old comic series "Mister & Me," will be published in 2019 and 2020 by Little, Brown and Company, one of the country’s oldest publishing houses.
Aimed at middle-grade children, the new series "Mister's Misadventures in Middle School" will launch with Newell trying to avoid summer school by participating in a talent show — despite having no idea what his talent is.
Jason Platt, a freelance illustrator, works out of his Davenport home.
