This fall, Dynamite Entertainment is diving back into the dark side with a brand-new comic book story featuring one of Disney’s most iconic villains — Maleficent!
In this new chapter, the Queen of the Forbidden Mountain returns shortly after casting her infamous curse on Princess Aurora. Now, Maleficent is on a mission to make her magical powers stronger than ever — so powerful that nothing and no one can stop her.
Her quest begins when her goblin minions bring her a strange, glowing book from a recent raid. Inside lies a dark and mysterious magic that promises nearly unlimited power. But there’s a catch — to unlock its secrets, Maleficent must leave her kingdom and travel to a dangerous, unknown land where few have survived.
Paulina Ganucheau, known for her work on The Powerpuff Girls, writes this thrilling tale. She teams up with Theo Stultz, an award-winning artist, to bring Maleficent’s haunting journey to life. Together, they promise a story full of dark magic, suspense, and stunning artwork.
“Maleficent is one of the best Disney villains ever,” said Ganucheau. “She’s completely evil, mysterious, and rooted in powerful mythology. Getting the chance to tell her story — especially with Theo — is a dream come true.”
The new comic will feature several eye-catching covers, including ones by Ganucheau, Stultz, Ellery Santos, and Robert Quinn. Each artist brings their own spooky style to this unforgettable character.
This series builds on the success of Dynamite’s first Maleficent comic by Soo Lee, which is already available in various formats.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the Disney Villains series, Disney Villains: Maleficent #1 is a must-read. Look for it in comic stores this October!
