It’s invokes nostalgia, even if you haven’t read it before. Like the miniseries, the comic reads like an old story you may vaguely remember from childhood. However, the longer they stay in Hollow Town, the more it becomes clear that it holds a sinister secret. While there, Wirt finds work as a babysitter for the enigmatic Mrs. Luckily, it’s not long before they stumble upon Hollow Town, a hamlet populated entirely by wooden doll people. When Greg loses a shoe, Wirt must find a way to replace it, and fast if they want to avoid a repeat of the summer camp splinter incident. Written by Celia Lowenthal, Over the Garden Wall: Hollow Town follows trio Wirt, Greg and Beatrice. My love for this particular tale is undeniable so I was quick to jump at the chance to read Over the Garden Wall: Hollow Town.

Specifically when the moon is full and the wind is howling through the trees. It’s the perfect way to start off and compliment a nostalgia jammed season like fall. It never quite feels like autumn until I’ve dug out my favorite sweater, made some mulled apple juice and binge-watched Over the Garden Wall. No matter how many times I’ve watched it. Within it’s 10 episodes we follow the story of two half-brothers who travel across a strange forest to find their way home, encountering odd and wonderful things on their journey. It’s a delightful and whimsical tale that never seems to get old or fails to entertain me. Debuting in 2014, Over the Garden Wall aired on Cartoon Network as a limited event miniseries. Let me start this off with a declaration: If you have not seen Over the Garden Wall, you need to stop what you’re doing and watch it.
