IDW to Publish Haunted Mansion Graphic Novel by Sina Grace and Egle Bartolini

In 2016, Marvel Comics launched a Haunted Mansion comic book by Joshua Williamson, Jorge Coelho, and Jean-Francois Beaulieu, but that was another era, when Disney actually asked Marvel, a comic book publisher they own, to publish comics for them. Nowadays, Disney outsources most of its properties to IDW and Dark Horse, even sending some Marvel Comics properties to IDW. And so, it makes sense to give the whole Haunted Mansion thing a try once more, with IDW announcing a new Haunted Mansion original graphic novel by Sina Grace and Egle Bartolini.

From the press release:

This September, IDW proudly welcomes "foolish mortals" of all ages to the Haunted Mansion Original Graphic Novel, a brand-new illustrated journey through the home of grim, grinning ghosts and other spectral surprises.

Written by Sina Grace (Iceman) with art by Egle Bartolini (Disney Princess Comics), this 72-page softcover brings ghoulish delights not only to middle grade readers (the 8-12 age range), but to each of our inner children as it revisits all our favorite happy haunts—the ghost host, Madame Leota, the singing busts, the hitchhiking ghosts, and many more!

Sina Grace had this to say about making a comic about a theme park attraction:

As someone who solemnly swears to have boarded a Doombuggy every Disneyland visit, I am utterly thrilled to join the 999 happy haunts with a story full of laughs, gasps, and a few surprises! The Haunted Mansion is one of the most iconic attractions in all of Disneyland, and I am so honored to be writing a tale commemorating its historic 50th anniversary.

Check out the cover below.

A prophecy once said that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Sadly, that prophecy was wrong. Oh, Jude Terror was right. For ten years. About everything. But nobody listened. And so, Jude Terror has moved on to a more important mission: turning Bleeding Cool into a pro wrestling dirt sheet!
