This May, beloved Disney character Aladdin returns for new adventures in a comic series from writer James III and artist Agnese Eterno!
As part of a slate of licensed Disney comic books, which includes a Lilo & Stitch series, publisher Dynamite Entertainment has announced an all-new Aladdin series coming from writer James III (Good Burger 2, Fairy OddParents: A New Wish, All That) and acclaimed rising star artist Agnese Eterno.
This new series is not an adaptation of the original movie, but builds out its own original story. The official synopsis reads: The former street rat is united with his love, Princess Jasmine. He’s got his trusty buddies Abu and the magical carpet. While Genie is free of his lamp and able to do as he wishes. But trouble always seems to haunt Al, and he’ll need the help of everyone he loves to save himself and the entire city of Agrabah!
“Writing Aladdin is an opportunity I don’t take lightly,” said writer James III. “Not to be old, but the Aladdin VHS was one of the few tapes we owned growing up and we wore it out! I’d run around the house imitating Genie and Iago (for which I later won the 3rd grade talent show, thank you very much!) And my light-up Jafar staff was a prized possession. We’re doing our best to capture the flare of the original while telling new stories for today’s audience.”
Issue #1 will debut with a number of variant covers, including ones from J. Scott Campbell, Nicoletta Baldari, and Natacha Bustos.
The all-new series is part of a big slate of licensed Disney comics from Dynamite Entertainment. In 2025, the publisher debuted a Lion King series, and it was a huge success. This May will see the release of a Lilo & Stitch series. The Aladdin comic also arrives this May.
