Fresh off the release of the bestselling Long Live the Pumpkin Queen graphic novel, Dynamite Entertainment has announced that it is returning to the world of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas this coming January with the launch of the four-issue limited series The Shiver of Christmas Town from writer Torunn Grønbekk and artist Edu Menna.
“Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is a feast of imagination and dark delights, and it has been a joy to play in and contribute to this world,” said writer Torunn Grønbekk. “In our story, little goes to plan: tricks are played, treats are had, and along the way, Dr. Finkelstein’s new creation Shiver discovers the true magic of Halloween. Artist Edu Menna captures the gothic, whimsical atmosphere of the movie so beautifully, and I hope the book will introduce a new generation of readers to the enchanting world of Disney’s Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.”
The enigmatic Dr. Finkelstein, Sally’s creator, has another creation in the works. When he debuts an unusual, yet unexpectedly adorable creature as a new pet, Sally is tasked with taking care of it. Only for the three resident trick-or-treaters of Halloween Town to have it in tow as they embark on their journey to Christmas Town.
