Synopsis

Alison Dare is not your typical 12-year-old. The daughter of an archeologist/adventurer and the masked hero known as the Blue Scarab (and the niece of an international super-spy), Alison's life has always been different from other girls her age. A craving for danger is in her blood. Unfortunately, her parents have locked her away at the prestigious St. Joan of Arc Academy for Girls, hoping that this would lead to a more "normal" life for their daughter. But despite all the strict rules at the school, Alison and her best pals –– Wendy and Dot –– somehow manage to get into adventures that rival those of Alison's globetrotting, planet-saving relatives.

About this title

Review:

"Meet 12-year-old Alison Dare, a youngster with a flair for action and adventure . The fluid, confident B&W art can be detailed, and there s a lot of dialogue to digest, but they give the sometimes predictable storyline a charm and freshness."
"Publishers Weekly
""These are the comics I wish I had as a kid! Jason Bone s art really brings the story to life; it s expressive without being exaggerated, and he really brings out the goofy humor of the stories."
"Comic Book Resource
"
" Bone s open art is a wonderful counterpart to these funny tales of derring-do that don t quite go as expected. His figures are simple and compact, suggesting unexpected power and ability . Torres writing is playful, with occasional pop culture references . It s his humor that gives Alison Dare its unique twist. Many kids dream of magical adventures, and Alison s experiences fill that desire nicely."
Johanna, "Comics Worth Reading""
