After losing the Star Wars, Conan, and Buffy licenses, Dark Horse Comics must surely have been thinking: someday, my prince will come. Well, perhaps they should have been waiting for a princess, as Disney seems to be pushing more and more Disney properties their way these days. The latest is sure to have Dark Horse bean counters whistling while they work, as the publisher announced the launch of a new Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs comic coming this June from the creative team of Cecil Castellucci and Gabriele Bagnoli.

The three-issue mini-series is a retelling of the classic story. Check out the press release below.

MILWAUKIE, Ore. (March 21, 2019)—Dark Horse Comics and Disney are reawakening a classic Disney tale in Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Written by award-winning author Cecil Castellucci with art by Gabriele Bagnoli, Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, this comic retelling revisits the timeless classic of Snow White.

Relive the classic Disney fairy tale through the first-person perspective of Snow White in Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Snow is more than a damsel in distress; she possesses a heart and soul that yearns for knowledge, love, and acceptance. Made to work in her own castle by her wicked stepmother, the Queen, Snow's world changes the day she meets her prince charming and her jealous stepmother tries to have her killed. Snow flees to the forest to hide and finds sanctuary with a family she never could have expected in the boisterous seven dwarfs. Can her heart still flourish with the shadow of the queen's hate looming over her, and only the lingering hope of seeing her prince again?

Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs #1 (of three) goes on sale June 16, 2019, and is available for pre-order at your local comic shop.
