Nightmare Before Christmas: Long Live The Pumpkin Queen Graphic Novel

Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: Long Live The Pumpkin Queen gets a graphic novel in one month's time from Dynamite Entertainment

Last month, Bleeding Cool broke the news of the new graphic novel, Disney's Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: Long Live the Pumpkin Queen, coming out from Dynamite Entertainment next month. Now we have a little more…

Based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Shea Ernshaw, the graphic novel of Long Live the Pumpkin Queen is being adapted by Liz Marsham, formerly of Disney Princess: Ariel and the Sea Wolf, and artists Alessio Petillo and Ismael Canales, with a cover by Scary Godmother's Jill Thompson.

"I really enjoyed the opportunity to work on this compelling story," said writer Liz Marsham. "Shea Ernshaw wrote everything I could have needed: a compelling story about iconic characters I have loved as a fan for decades, an exciting mix of the settings we know and gorgeously-described new landscapes, enthralling action, an emotional journey that is both fantastical and deeply relatable, and, of course, the delightfully spooky vibes we all associate with Halloween Town. It was a pleasure to help add a new dimension to an already rich tale, and the art team has done a wonderful job bringing it all to life."

An all-new graphic novel based on the New York Times best-selling Disney novel Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas: Long Live the Pumpkin Queen by Shea Ernshaw!
Jack and Sally Skellington seem like the perfect couple – but all is not well in Halloween Town!
After escaping from Dr. Finkelstein and marrying her true love, Jack, Sally has become the realm's official Pumpkin Queen. But as much as she adores her skeletal husband, the spotlight of popular attention and the weight of her many new royal obligations have left Sally wondering if she might have actually just traded one form of captivity for another. To make matters worse, when Sally and Zero discover a hidden doorway leading to the previously unknown Dream Town, the resulting cascade of calamities threatens not only her new position as Pumpkin Queen, but also the very foundations of her world!
To save her beloved home, Sally will have to summon all the strength she has within her seams – or else the future could become a nightmare without Halloween!
