Bubba Ho-Tep Returns in New Prequel Comic by Joe Lansdale, Joshua Jabcuga, and Todd Galusha
The cult classic movie starring Bruce Campbell, Bubba Ho-Tep, may never get that proposed sequel, but it is getting a prequel… in comic book form! Revealed in an EXCLUSIVE at THR, creator Jon R. Lansdale, who wrote the novella upon which the movie was based, is returning to co-write a prequel comic, Bubba Ho-Tep and the Cosmic Bloodsuckers, along with Joshua Jabcuga and artist Todd Galusha. Baldemar Rivas provides the cover for the first issue.
In the new comic, President Richard Nixon (basically a pussycat when compared to the Trump era) calls on Elvis Presley to fend off an alien invasion. If the comic is successful, Lansdale intimates that there could be more Bubba Ho-Tep comics in the future.
"Bubba Ho-Tep was an accidental story that turned out to be my first film adaptation, and it's still going strong in story and film," Lansdale said on THR. "And finally, it has inspired a background story that was first a novel, and is now represented in the medium that first made me want to be a writer: Comics. Graphic novels. What we used to call Funny Books. I'm excited and looking forward to readers discovering it all in color and looking fine."
Look for this in stores from IDW in March.
