Dynamite Entertainment launches its new ongoing series Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Shiver of Christmas Town this coming Wednesday, and you can get yourself a sneak peek at the first issue with the official preview below…
BOYS AND GIRLS OF EVERY AGE — TIME FOR SOMETHING NEW AND STRANGE! Dynamite’s first-ever ongoing comic book series set in the world of the beloved film Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is coming this January! Written by acclaimed author TORUNN GRØNBEKK (Red Sonja, Catwoman, Thor) and illustrated by the supernaturally talented EDU MENNA, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Shiver of Christmas Town returns to the enchanted lands of Halloween Town and Christmas Town for an all-new tale of adventure that will have readers in stitches!
It all begins with the unveiling of Dr. Finkelstein’s newest creation, specially designed to be the scariest creature ever to celebrate All Hallow’s Eve. But something has gone awry in the process, and the final result is more cute and cuddly than fearsome and menacing. The disappointed scientist hands the newcomer over to Sally for safekeeping, who dubs it Shiver for its freezing breath.
Meanwhile, the Mayor has tasked Lock, Shock, and Barrel with teaching the residents of Christmas Town how to trick-or-treat, as the two realms have embarked on a new campaign to share their holiday traditions. With Christmas Town celebrating Halloween for the first time ever, the trio are taking their assignment seriously — perhaps a bit too seriously! In an effort to make their pranks extra lifelike and terrifying, they decide to “borrow” some ingredients from Dr. Finkelstein’s lab — and end up with much more than they bargained for in the form of the deceptively adorable Shiver!
Boasting a spirited selection of seasonal covers from artists JAE LEE & JUNE CHUNG, SOO LEE, and ALAN QUAH, Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Shiver of Christmas Town #1 also features a special selection of artwork from the Disney Library to round out its cover offerings!
Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Shiver of Christmas Town #1 is out on Wednesday, January 7th 2025.
