Oni Press, in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products (WBDGCP), is thrilled to unveil a sneak peek at pages from the highly anticipated Adventure Time #1. This marks the beginning of an all-new ongoing monthly series set to hit comic shops on April 9. These fresh narratives will continue from where the previous Eisner Award-winning comics concluded nearly a decade ago.

Creative Talent Behind the Series

 

The series showcases the artistic talents of renowned cartoonist and animator Nick Winn (known for Silver Sprocket’s Bloody Mary), alongside a brand-new back-up story crafted by Derek Ballard, a finalist for the LA Times Book Award and an animator for Adventure Time. The inaugural story arc, titled “Best of Buds,” brings back the beloved duo created by Pendleton Ward: Jake the dog and Finn the human!

Editor’s Insight

 

Series editor Megan Brown expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “The new Adventure Time comic series promises to be packed with laugh-out-loud jokes, poignant moments, and — as evident in these pages — groundbreaking adventures for Finn, Jake, and our fantastic cast. We’re incredibly excited to highlight the exceptional talents of our truly mathematical creative team!”

Rotating Cast of Talents

 

The series will feature a dynamic lineup of contributors, including cartoonist and animator Nick Winn (Bloody Mary), 2024 Eisner Award winner Caroline Cash (PeePee PooPoo), Asia Simone (Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: Wreck and Roll), Jorge Monlongo (Over the Garden Wall: Hallow Town), Brenda Hickey (My Little Pony), and former Adventure Time writer/storyboard artist and 2024 LA Times Book Prize Finalist Derek Ballard (Cartoonshow), with even more talent to be announced.

Stunning Cover Art

 

The new comic series will also feature an impressive array of covers, showcasing artwork by Winn and other notable artists such as David Nakayama (Star Wars: Ahsoka) — available in both gold foil and black-and-white variants; Trung Le Nguyen (The Magic Fish) — also available as a silver foil variant; Eisner Award winners Tillie Walden (On a Sunbeam, The Walking Dead: Clementine), Caroline Cash (PeePee PooPoo), and Erica Henderson (Squirrel Girl), along with two unique sketch covers!
