Disney Manga: Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas – The Battle for Pumpkin King

Jack Skellington is the undisputed Pumpkin King of Halloween Town. But it wasn’t always that way…

Years ago, Jack and Oogie Boogie were close friends. Both eager to prove themselves, they poured all their passion into their fantastical projects to earn their rightful place as the scariest duo in town. But there could only be one Pumpkin King! What could have happened to turn two best friends into such bitter rivals?

«Even if you are not familiar with the original film, the graphic novelThe Nightmare Before Christmas: The Battle For Pumpkin Kingdoes justice to the original.Dan Conner’s writing flows the story with the right amount of humour.Deborah Allodraws every line as if the environment and the characters are alive and we are there in the town with them. We can not miss the finesse in colouring thatRoberto Scaliaexecutes. My overall impression is that this story is beautifully illustrated; it has easy-to-follow, funny dialogues with cleverly placed subtexts on the importance of friendship and honesty.» —Ilgin Side Soysal, The Comics Beat
