BOOM! Studios has announced a new comic book series based on Cartoon Network’s Over the Garden Wall miniseries by Patrick McHale.

Being published under the all-age KaBOOM! imprint, the new Over the Garden Wall comic series reunites McHale with artist Jim Campbell from their one-shot comic from 2014. The four-issue miniseries will be released on August 26th, 2015.

“We are incredibly excited to dive back into the unknown with Patrick and Jim,” said BOOM! Studios President of Publishing and Marketing Filip Sablik. “We adored the Over the Garden Wall animated miniseries here at BOOM!, and this new limited series will allow us to explore even more adventures with Wirt, Greg, the Woodsman, and all our favorite characters.”

Taking place between the third and fourth episodes of the animated series, Wirt and Greg are trying to hitch a ride out of schooltown, but are forced to walk. They encounter two girls playing and must entertain them, in order to prevent their giant father from waking up.

 

Press release:

Headlined by an all-star voice-cast that includes Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings Trilogy), Collin Dean (The War at Home), and Melanie Lynskey (Two and a Half Men), Over the Garden Wall is Cartoon Network’s first-ever miniseries, an animated comedy/fantasy story about two brothers, Wirt and Greg, who are trapped in a mysterious world. In this 10-part production, music plays an important role with a soundtrack full of Americana-influenced original songs. A DVD collecting all of the episodes will be released on September 8. Over the Garden Wall is created by Patrick McHale and produced by Cartoon Network Studios.
