Dynamite Entertainment will revisit Halloween Town next year as they revisit Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas in a brand-new four-issue series, The Shiver of Christmas Town.
Torunn Grønbekk, writer of Red Sonja, Thor, Venom and more, will take a deep dive not only into Halloween Town, but into its “sister city,” Christmas Town. Joining Grønbekk is artist Edu Menna, colorist Adriano Augusto and letterer Taylor Esposito.
The story follows Sally and the mischievous trio Lock, Shock, and Barrel as they care for Dr. Finkelstein’s latest creation—a creature unexpectedly adorable and full of surprises. Chaos ensues as the little monster winds up in the hands of the trio during their journey to Christmas Town.
“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 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. 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 Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.”
