Wildbrain Entertainment and Oni Press are teaming up to bring the hit animated preschooler series You Gabba Gabba to comics.
The comic, titled Yo Gabba Gabba Story Comic Book Time Vol. 1, will be a 128-page, oversize hardcover book that will retail for $24.99 when it is released in the fall.
‘Seeing the show Christian Jacobs and Scott Schultz created was a revelation,’ says James Lucas Jones, Oni’s editor in chief. ‘These were parents who grew up on the same music, television, movies, comics, and video games I did and it comes through every aspect of the show. In addition to creating a group of charming and iconic characters, they consistently bring in top-notch folks to contribute to the program like Devo’s Mark Mothersbaugh, House of Fun’s Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer, Biz Markie, the Aquabats and all of the outstanding bands in the Super Music Friends Show. I’m pleased as punch for Oni Press to be joining such a talented and groundbreaking group of creators.’
Announced over the weekend at the inaugural C2E2 comic book convention in Chicago, the book is the first a planned series from Oni and Wildbrain, which produced the program.
