Disney's Maleficent Returns for All-New Villainy
in Comic Series by Paulina Ganucheau & Theo Stultz | 
August 5, Mt. Laurel, NJ: Dynamite Entertainment announces an exciting new journey into darkness, as the Disney Villains line of comic book tales is back with another unforgettable tale this fall of perhaps its most beloved member, the maniacal Maleficent!
The Queen of the Forbidden Mountain is back for an all-new tale of villainy, set in the time just after she leveled her infamous curse against Princess Aurora. This moody new adventure follows the power-hungry regent as she seeks to fortify her dark powers. Maleficent's plan is to reinforce her arsenal of magical energy to the point of making herself invulnerable to any threats to her reign.
As she sets out on this nightmarish goal, her goblin minions return from a raid bearing a mysterious glowing grimoire. Between its covers is contained a force that could deliver to the queen an overflowing wellspring of nearly unlimited power. But to fully possess this dark power and harness it, Maleficent must leave the safety of her kingdom and venture into an unfamiliar and dangerous realm — from which few have ever returned in one piece!
To chronicle this haunting quest, Paulina Ganucheau flexes her writing abilities, following her acclaimed contributions to The Powerpuff Girls and beyond. She's joined by Ignatz Award-winning artist Theo Stultz, for a high-powered and in-sync creative team ready to wow fans.
"Maleficent is a top-tier (if not the all-around best) Disney Villain," said writer Paulina Ganucheau. "She feels so authentically evil in all her pursuits. With roots in medieval mythology and dark magic, she's just so iconic. As a longtime fan, it's truly an honor to creatively contribute to her cultural stamp. And to be joined by the great Theo Stultz, it's a dream come true. Get ready for a beautifully spooky and enigmatic adventure!"
Both Ganucheau and Stultz contribute variant covers to the series and are joined by fellow fabulous creators Ellery Santos and Robert Quinn for a batch of darkly beautiful visions of the one and only Maleficent.
This series follows the lush, instant-classic first Dynamite saga starring Maleficent by Soo Lee. That title is available collected in multiple formats from retailers.
Fans of all ages will not want to miss this latest gothic epic, adding a new layer of complexity to one of Disney's most compellingly sinister antagonists! Disney Villains: Maleficent #1 is in stores this October! Visit www.dynamite.com for more news and information.
