Abstract

The article focuses on the collaborative creation of *The Endless Game*, a middle-grade graphic novel by writer J.D. Amato and illustrator Sophie Morse. The story centers on a town divided by a decades-long game of capture the flag. Amato, known for comedy television, and Morse, a Rhode Island School of Design graduate, emphasize their unusually close and iterative partnership, blending story and illustration in ways uncommon in children’s publishing. They also discuss the creative freedom they experienced during the publishing process and reflect on how their collaboration contributed to the book’s cinematic pacing and overall strength.
