Volume 1 - 1st printing. "Good Morning Salwa!" Story and art by Shazleen Khan. Cartoonist Shazleen Khan brings their Ignatz Award–winning young adult web series, BUUZA!! to print in Good Morning, Salwa, the first of three volumes collecting the original webtoon. On New Year's Eve 1997, in the bustling city of Salwa, Zach, a down-on-his-luck phone operator, receives a misdialed call from a distressed man named Zhen which sparks an undeniable connection. Zach is thrown into a search for his mystery man that stretches across multiple cities and a tangled web of exes, missed connections, and frenemies. Set in the vibrant, low-fantasy realm of Dawlat Al-Harir—an eclectic melting pot inspired by Silk Road history and rich Asian and African Islamic cultures—BUUZA!! is a queer YA romance that features a uniquely dynamic blend of magical realism and political drama, with a richly diverse cast and an intricate plot that explores themes of identity, family, and transformation. This story will take readers on a captivating journey through a world where the divine and mundane collide in the most unexpected ways. Hardcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 368 pages, full color. Teen+ Cover price $26.99.
