It’s a secret that threatens to unravel their village’s way of life, and their friendship!

Full of mystery, humor, and other-worldly imagination, Neil’s comic will delight readers of any age! This book was edited by Neil’s long-time collaborator, Kenan Rubenstein, who also contributes 13 pages of vibrant and beautiful artwork!

This book is the first of three volumes in the series.
The Plot Trilogy is Radiator Comics’ eighth publishing project.

Praise for Congratulations on Your Good Fortune

“Congratulations on Your Good Fortune builds a dense and completed generational drama in a unique fantasy world and then cracks it all wide open. Brideau balances the sweet concerns of children with the heavy weight of growing up.”
-Laura Knetzger, creator of Bug Boys

“In this first volume of The Plot Trilogy, Brideau has hand-crafted a rich, immersive fantasy world, brimming with imagination. Readers will find universal themes of adolescent rebellion, surrounded by ideas so original, you won’t find them in any other story. Congratulations on your good fortune! You’ve picked up a great story!”
-Alec Longstreth, creator of Isle of Elsi

“Congratulations on Your Good Fortune is a suspenseful mystery, written through the lens of confusing and heartbreaking adolescence. Each truth that Atchi, Eena, and Fib discover reveals more and more painful questions and consequences. Do they keep going? Who do they trust? Can they afford to stop? Brideau makes their struggle to understand their world feel as essential and frightening as fighting to breathe.”
-Andrea Tsurumi, author/illustrator of Accident!, Crab Cake, and I’m On It!
