About the author
Thomas F. Zahler
113 books40 followersInto every generation there is born an artist. A being of such amazing talent and skill, that the world is forever changed by the power of his work. He alone stands against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness.
Thom Zahler is not that artist.
He is, however, an extremely hardworking artist, doing what he can with what talent and skill he has. He attended the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, where he honed his skills and developed strong feelings about the state of New Jersey. Immediately returning to his home state of Ohio upon graduation, he worked as a caricaturist at an amusement park, then later as an advertising artist at a great suburban newspaper, and finally as an art director at an area advertising agency.
Believing that every great success story starts with the phrase “it was a terrible time to start a business,” he quit his day job working for “The Man” in November of 2001 to devote himself full-time to the burgeoning Thom Zahler Art Studios empire.
His artwork has been seen in the nationwide Prilosec advertising campaign, in countless magazines and newspapers all across the country, and in the pages of numerous comic books. He has won awards for both his graphic design and illustration work. A relentless glory hound, he is also a recurring presence on Cleveland broadcast media, both television and radio. He recently made the jump to the national spotlight as a contestant on the syndicated version of “Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?” where he won $32,000. He could have gone farther, but he didn’t know who the hell Charles Goren was.
He is a graduate of the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art. He has drawn silly things and been paid by Marvel Comics, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and Prilosec. He is also the writer and artist of the Cleveland Indians’ “Slider” comic strip. He has written and drawn three graphic novels: “Raider: From the Shadows”, "Raider: A Cold Day in Heaven” and “Raider: Dead Men’s Tales”. His current project, “Love and Capes” has been critically acclaimed and twice part of the national Free Comic Book Day promotion. A collection of the first six issues will be released in November of 2008.
He lives at his palatial estate, Zahlerdu, in Northeast Ohio. Okay, he doesn’t really call it “Zahlerdu” but if he did, it’d be because he liked Orson Wells’ “Citizen Kane” and not that Olivia Newton John disco-and-roller skating movie. It’s not really a palatial estate, either, but it is a nice place.
Zahler tries to make it a point to have at least one life-altering, horribly-scarring relationship every three years or so. There should be another window opening up next Tuesday.

Twilight's sent to work help out the royal archivist, whose really more of a closed stacks librarian. She's old, set in her ways, grumpy as all get out and full of secrets.

As an avid reader myself, I really enjoyed Twilight Sparkle's story. The princess sent her to help the library's archivist, who turned out to be Twilight's favorite author, Jade Singer. Twilight talked her out of her shell, causing her to become both a better author and a better friend.

Pretty cute. It's not breaking any new ground -- the spunky young one winning over the crusty elder is pretty standard, as is the reclusive author -- but young readers should be able to relate and if you are into My Little Pony that probably adds at least one star.

I got a digital edition of this free so gave it a whirl. It's well colored and well written for a kids book.

Imagine Twilight in a big library. Easy task. But this time she has to deal with a pony who doesn't want company but runs the place.
Wonderful comic about friendship and trust.

Der Oktober fängt an wie der September beendet wurde 😁 Und da es noch ein paar MLP Comics bei KU gibt, werden diese noch gelesen. Ich liebe sie einfach 😍 Und ich bin mal wieder froh dass ich mir ein Tablett gekauft habe und keinen keinen Kindle, denn damit sind eben auch Comics kein Problem 😎

My stepdaughter and I seem to have differing opinions. What I like, she doesn't and vice versa for the most part. I, personally, loved this book.
Twilight is sent to the Royal Archive to help Summer Mane, the pony who runs the archives and has injured herself. Summer Mane is not happy to see Twilight and cannot get her name right but the two will find out that they have a lot in common.

Surprisingly, I enjoyed reading this comic to my daughter as much as she enjoyed hearing it. Great (new?) story focusing just on Twilight and just the right length to read in one bedtime session. Love the sly pop culture references for the adults too.

I got a bunch of old comics from a friend and this was one I didn’t know what to expect from. I used to be pretty into mlp so at a base level I think the art is cute, but twilight was never my favourite character so I think that hinders it for me. I do love having this as a collectors item though!

I love this installment. It makes Twilight shine with her positive character traits. Great story!

I read this because my daughter is TOTALLY obsessed with anything My Little Pony right now. Fans will enjoy this one.
