Boom! Studios has announced that it has acquired the comic book and graphic novel license for Cartoon Network’s animated series Ben 10, and will kick things off with Ben 10: The Truth Is Out There, an all new original graphic novel from writer CB Lee (Not Your Sidekick) and artist Lidan Chen.
“I am so thrilled to be working with BOOM! Studios and Cartoon Network on the Ben 10 original graphic novels,” said CB Lee. “I grew up watching cartoons and had so much fun getting to follow my favorite characters to far-off worlds, and especially following their adventures, seeing friendships form and fighting for what you believe in. Ben 10 absolutely encompasses everything I love about storytelling – it’s so clever and has so much humor and heart. The original graphic novels will follow Ben, Gwen, Grandpa Max on all new adventures with mischief, monsters, and more mayhem with Ben and his aliens — and will be fun for fans of the show who want more of the Ben 10universe, as well as a wonderful way to introduce new people to this series. I can’t wait to share these new adventures with all of you!”
“Ben 10 is a cartoon I love very much, so working on this graphic novel is a great opportunity and a big challenge,” added Lidan Chen. “I’m enjoying drawing all the characters – especially the aliens because they are really cool!”
Ben 10 introduces fun loving, 10-year-old, Ben Tennyson, his cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max, as they travel the country during summer vacation. Once Ben finds the Omnitrix, a mysterious watch that transforms him into 10 different heroic aliens, a world of extraterrestrial superpowers opens up to him.
Ben 10: The Truth Is Out There is set for release in March 2019.
