Hakuna matata! The beloved world of The Lion King makes its way to comic books this November with a breakout project from writer and artist Edwin Galmon.

Fans are invited to return to the sweeping plains of Africa for a brand-new set of adventures starring Mufasa and a young Simba. Set in the golden time during the events of the Walt Disney Animation Studios 1994 film, Galmon’s new series takes place while Simba is young and before Scar has risen to power. Audiences will follow the ruler of the Pride Lands and his young heir as they navigate the complex web of relationships across their vast kingdom. Mufasa will teach his son how to defend their home against the forces that threaten their peace and harmony from both outside and within their pack.

Multitalented creator Edwin Galmon is no stranger to Dynamite’s Disney comics line, with a range of riveting covers and artwork on titles like Lilo & Stitch, The Terminator, Mr. Terrific: Year One, and more. Now, The Lion King is set to not only be his most sizable artistic undertaking and major writing debut in the industry.

The world of The Lion King and its safari setting is full of beloved characters and exciting new faces. Fans will get to see a mix of both across each chapter of this new Disney epic. A touching story about a father and son, it’s also enjoyable for all ages and ideal for parents sharing the story with their children.

Galmon is joined by top tier artists Meghan Hetrick, Jacob Edgar, and Giulia Lomurno on variant covers for the series.

The Lion King is widely lauded as one of Disney’s iconic films. The awards-winning Disney Animation blockbuster continues to impact fans of all ages, and across media. This new Dynamite comic series also brings things full circle, as Disney Villains: Scar marked one of the publisher’s first forays in bringing Disney magic to comics.
