Avatar: The Last Airbender--Fire and Family Treasury Boxed Set - Paperback

by Faith Erin Hicks (Author), Peter Wartman (Illustrator), Adele Matera (Illustrator)

This new boxed set of Avatar: The Last Airbender--Fire and Family Treasury collects the standalone graphic novels Azula in the Spirit Temple, The Bounty Hunter and the Tea Brewer, and Ashes of the Academy. Featuring new box art by Peter Wartman and Adele Matera.

In Azula in the Spirit Temple, a failed attack on her brother finds Azula in a strange forest temple inhabited by a solitary monk...or is it something more mysterious? Azula must confront her past, and finally face her chance at redemption.

The Bounty Hunter and the Tea Brewer follows Iroh and the bounty hunter June, after she kidnaps the tea shop proprietor for the generous reward on his head. Iroh must confront a painful part of his past when June turns him in to a powerful tea cartel, but his journey inspires June to rethink her own life as well.

In Ashes of the Academy, Zuko continues his reform campaign in the Fire Nation--and this time he's bringing it to the next generation of Royal Fire Academy for Girls students. When he finds Azula's old school resistant to change, he enlists the help of Mai to both monitor the situation and keep an eye on his younger half-sister Kiyi--as an academy teacher! And it's a good thing, because there's more than schoolwork afoot!

Writer Faith Erin Hicks joins artist Peter Wartman, colorist Adele Matera, and Comicraft's Jimmy Betancourt for the official comics continuation of the beloved animated series, created in collaboration with Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino.
