If you've ever ridden in a "doom buggy" at the Haunted Mansion attraction in Disneyland, or you have fond memories of watching the Evers family's ghostly encounters in 2003's The Haunted Mansion, then you may have a special place in your heart for the home of "999 happy haunts." The Haunted Mansion attraction turns 50 this summer, and to celebrate a half-century of family friendly scares, IDW Publishing will release a new Haunted Mansion graphic novel this September.
Press Release: SAN DIEGO, CA (March 19, 2019) – This September, IDW proudly welcomes “foolish mortals” of all ages to the Haunted Mansion Original Graphic Novel, a brand-new illustrated journey through the home of grim, grinning ghosts and other spectral surprises.
Written by Sina Grace (Iceman) with art by Egle Bartolini (Disney Princess Comics), this 72-page softcover brings ghoulish delights not only to middle grade readers (the 8-12 age range), but to each of our inner children as it revisits all our favorite happy haunts—the ghost host, Madame Leota, the singing busts, the hitchhiking ghosts, and many more!
Sina Grace says, "As someone who solemnly swears to have boarded a Doombuggy every Disneyland visit, I am utterly thrilled to join the 999 happy haunts with a story full of laughs, gasps, and a few surprises! The Haunted Mansion is one of the most iconic attractions in all of Disneyland, and I am so honored to be writing a tale commemorating its historic 50th anniversary."
