Dark Horse takes on Disney graphic novels ‘Aladdin’ and ‘Dumbo’ in 2019

New anthology graphic novels being released to coincide with movie releases.

In case you haven’t noticed Disney is rebooting classic cartoons like it’s going out of style. First, it was the Jungle Book in 2016 and soon Lion King, Aladdin, and Dumbo will be live action films too. Now those same films are getting graphic novel adaptations. Dark Horse Comics is partnering up with Disney to produce graphic novels for both Aladdin and Dumbo in 2019.

Dumbo will the be the first to hit comic shops and bookstores on March 26, 2019 and it will be written by John Jackson Miller with art by Giovanni Rigano, Alberto Zanon, Paola Antista, and Michela Bovo. An anthology, this work sprouts from Tim Burton’s upcoming film out March 29th.
