Tokyopop Reveals New NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS Graphic Novel
Tokyopop has revealed the third installment of their The Nightmare Before Christmas graphic novels, Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Battle For Pumpkin King. Written by Dan Conner with story by Shaun McLaughlin and D.J. Milky and art by Deborah Allo and Roberto Scalia, the story is set before the events of the movie and will illuminate the friendship turned rivalry of Jack Skellington and Oogie Boogie. Here’s the official synopsis:
Jack Skellington is the undisputed Pumpkin King of Halloweentown. But it wasn’t always that way...
Years ago, Jack and Oogie Boogie were close friends. Both eager to prove themselves, they poured all their passion into their spooky projects to earn their rightful place as the scariest duo in town. But there could only be one Pumpkin King! What could have happened to turn two best friends into such bitter rivals?
It sounds like a fun story to read, it’s almost like a villain origin story for Oogie Boogie. If you liked the previous two books, Zero’s Journey and Mirror Moon, you will want to check this one out too. The story will be released as five single issue comics starting in March 2023 with the graphic novel collection of all five issues available for Halloween 2023.
