Dynamite Entertainment in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products, is excited to announce an exciting release for fans of The Powerpuff Girls, with a special comic book release for the spooky season. This complements a rollout of exciting news from Dynamite and the Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products line of comics around San Diego Comic-Con.
The Powerpuff Girls ongoing comic book series is complemented this October with the first of a string of quarterly special issues. The Powerpuff Girls Halloween Special for 2024 sports a hearty 40 pages with an exciting, extra-length adventure from power couple writing and art duo Amanda Deibert (DC Super Hero Girls, Darkwing Duck) and Cat Staggs (Wonder Woman ’77,Crosswind).
“I am so excited about this Powerpuff Girls story jam packed with pop-culture Halloween-eggs (is that a thing?) for horror-lovers and a multitude of mayhem and mix-ups with so many of our favorite villains,” said writer Amanda Deibert. “Nothing could be better than the Powerpuff Girls saving Halloween! This is a TREAT for us (and our Powerpuff-loving daughter!)”
Artist Cat Staggs added, “As an OG fan of the The Powerpuff Girls, getting to draw them is a dream come true. Getting to work with my incredible wife, Amanda Deibert, and mix it with my favorite holiday, perfection!”
Spooky season is kicking off, and Buttercup has set her sights on winning a fun contest hosted by the Townsville Gazette – creating the best Halloween horror comic! Fans will not want to miss this clever, meta take on the medium.
Buttercup will scope out the big, old, possibly haunted hotel for inspiration. The only problem is, in spite of all its spooky appeals like the creepy hedge maze, staying at the hotel means there’s nowhere to trick or treat. Which leads Bubbles and Blossom to try and convince their sister to alter her plans a bit so they can all show off their costumes and enjoy the holiday in multiple ways.
This pumpkin-spiced and super-sized saga of suspense features covers by Staggs, Trish Forstner, and Silvia De Ventura. It all goes down on October 23, right before the holiday!
THE POWERPUFF GIRLS HALLOWEEN SPECIAL will be solicited in Diamond Comic Distributors’ August 2024 Previews catalog, the premier source of merchandise for the comic book specialty market, and slated for release in October 2024. Comic book fans are encouraged to preorder copies of the book with their local comic book retailers. It will also be available for individual customer purchase through digital platforms courtesy of Comixology, Kindle, iBooks, Google Play, Dynamite Digital, ComicsPlus, and more!
