Neil Gaiman, Marc Bernardin, and Shawn Martinbrough team to adapt Anansi Boys to comics
Neil Gaiman’s award-winning novel, Anansi Boys, is getting a comic adaptation from Dark Horse Comics. Adapted by writer Marc Bernardin, the series will also feature art by Shawn Martinbrough, colors by Chris Sotomayor, and letters by Jim Campbell. The first issue will have a main cover illustrated by David Mack and two variants by Martinbrough and Denys Cowan, respectively.
“Fat” Charlie Nancy leads a boring life as a boring Londoner until he discovers two things: That his recently deceased father was, in fact, Anansi, the trickster god of African folklore, and that he has a twin brother he’s never met. All of this kicks off a reality-spanning odyssey of sibling rivalry, jealous deities, and one poor soul who’ll realize that being a god is more trouble than it’s worth.
Anansi Boys #1 (of 8) arrives in comic shops on June 26, 2024. It is now available to pre-order at your local comic shop for $3.99.
