Released nearly 25 years ago,
The Nightmare Before Christmas still holds a near and dear place in many hearts. Calls for a sequel to catch up with Jack, Sally and all of their fiends have been thunderous over the years, but no new film has materialized.
Disney has now decided to give the film a sequel, or at least a continuation, but it will be in the media of a comic book.
The Hollywood Reporting is saying that Manga publisher Tokyopop has struck a deal with Disney for the licensing of
The Nightmare Before Christmas to expand on the story from the 1993 classic.
The first story will be titled,
Nightmare Before Christmas: Zero's Journey, and follow Jack's dog, Zero, as he is lost in Christmas Town. DJ Milky will handle the writing duties on the project with Studio DICE doing the artwork. The format of the project will be single serialized full-color issues, with the full collection then being released in trade paperbacks in color as well as black and white pocket sized magna volumes.
You can check out the first bit of artwork released for the project below.
The Nightmare Before Christmas: Zero's Journey, is targeting a Spring 2018 release date.
