The Powerpuff Girls Need Fans' Help for Their Holiday Shopping!
Daniel Kibblesmith & Carlo Lauro Wrapping Up This Comic Book Gift |
September 26, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products want you to get your mittens ready for the snowball fight, because The Powerpuff Girls need their fans' help for their Winter Snowdown Showdown this December! Wise-cracking author Daniel Kibblesmith (Harley Quinn, Black Panther vs. Deadpool) and artist Carlo Cid Lauro are bringing this oversized gift to readers.
It's the holiday season in the city of Townsville, which means lots of fun. Citizens are ice skating, baking cookies, and shopping for their loved ones. Which is exactly what Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are up to, as the fan-favorite, pint-sized protectors are in search of the perfect present for Professor Utonium. But what does one get for the man who has (or can make) everything?
On their quest to find out, the Girls will learn valuable lessons about playing fair, respecting boundaries, and considering others, all while of course dispensing some generous doses of holiday-flavored justice. It's time to deck the halls — and the bad guys!
"The Powerpuff Girls isn’t just one of my favorite shows of all time, it’s one of the best ideas in the history of fiction," said writer Daniel Kibblesmith. "I also loudly love the holidays and joking about the holidays (people have noticed and give me holiday assignments) so any fans of classic Powerpuff Girls comedy and action, kids and their parents, and any sentimental animated Christmas special lovers need to check this out!"
Writer Daniel Kibblesmith is a five-time Emmy Award nominee, and has wowed comics fans with his contributions to some of their favorite franchises. He's joined by Italian maestro artist Carlo Lauro, who spread his wings into the hearts of readers with the latest revival of Darkwing Duck. The pair of jolly old elves and their 28 page story are joined by Cat Staggs and Francesco Tomaselli, who contribute sparkling covers for this special release alongside Lauro's own. It's the latest in the ongoing string of new PPG comics from Dynamite Entertainment and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products
Fans of The Powerpuff Girls of all ages, kids and parents alike, will love this special seasonal mission. The Powerpuff Girls: Winter Snowdown Showdown is the perfect addition to any fireplace-adorned stocking!
THE POWERPUFF GIRLS: WINTER SNOWDOWN SHOWDOWN is solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ October 2024 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in December 2024. Comic book fans are encouraged to preorder copies of the book with their local comic book retailers.
