Aladdin Rides Magic Carpet Into Comic Series!
James III Invites Readers to a Whole New World!
| 
February 24, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Readers are invited to hop on their magic carpets and join Dynamite Entertainment for the latest hotly anticipated comics project in their line of licensed Disney classics, as Aladdin jumps into action this May!
Welcome to Agrabah! The creative team — writer James III and artist Agnese Eterno — brings a thrilling, all-new series from one of the most revered films from the Disney Renaissance era.
Everyone's favorite diamond in the rough, Aladdin, is on top of the world as this new comic series starts. The former street rat is united with his love, Princess Jasmine. He's got his trusty buddies Abu and the magical carpet. While Genie is free of his lamp and able to do as he wishes. But trouble always seems to haunt Al, and he'll need the help of everyone he loves to save himself and the entire city of Agrabah!
Acclaimed writer, comedian, podcaster, and all-around powerhouse James III (Good Burger 2, Fairy OddParents: A New Wish, All That) channels his timeless, all-ages expertise that fans got to know in the latest Stitch series into another childhood favorite of his, now an adult favorite and unparalleled responsibility for generations new and old.
The illustrious Italian artist Agnese Eterno joins him for this latest adventure into Agrabah, a rising star trained and affiliated with the legendary Arancia Studio of superstar Mirka Andolfo.
"Writing Aladdin is an opportunity I don't take lightly," said writer James III. "Not to be old, but the Aladdin VHS was one of the few tapes we owned growing up and we wore it out! I'd run around the house imitating Genie and Iago (for which I later won the 3rd grade talent show, thank you very much!) And my light-up Jafar staff was a prized possession. We're doing our best to capture the flare of the original while telling new stories for today's audience."
Joining James and Agnese is a crop of charts-topping cover artists. J. Scott Campbell showcases the haunting elegance of Aladdin's resident dastardly Disney Villain — Jafar. Artists Nicoletta Baldari and Natacha Bustos bring their beloved talents to the table. Last but certainly not least, Eterno herself chips in a fun cartoon head variant.
In addition to these core covers, aspiring artists and collectors can opt for a Blank Authentix to make their own Aladdin cover or have one sketched by a favorite creator at conventions. The debut issue will also be offered as a premium mystery blind bag. This unique release features a slick design of the Genie's lamp, and contains three limited editions of the issue selected randomly from a range of covers exclusive to this offering.
Aladdin hit theaters worldwide in 1992, bringing the Disney magic to a standout tale from One Thousand and One Nights. The titular Arabian street urchin, his spirited paramour Princess Jasmine, the conniving Jafar, wise-cracking Genie, adorable monkey Abu, and its gorgeous desert and city landscapes wowed fans of all ages. The highest-grossing animated film of all time at the time of its release, the world of Aladdin now returns to comics for a new batch of four-color fables.
