The author of “Captain Underpants’’ is joining the digital age and bringing back his million-selling series after a six-year hiatus.
Scholastic Inc. announced Thursday that e-editions of two graphic novels by Dav Pilkey, “The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby’’ and “Super Diaper Baby 2,’’ will come out at the end of January. The releases will include deleted scenes and material about the making of the books, spinoffs of the “Captain Underpants’’ stories.
The proliferation of iPads, Nooks, Kindle Fires and other color devices have made publishers and authors increasingly willing to put illustrated works in electronic format.
