Cover: Mike Del Mundo
Variant Cover: Rolly Crump
Teaser Variant Also Available
Imagineer Variant: Brian Crosby
Cover Price: $3.99

Marvel Comics delves into the wonderful world of Disney! Or perhaps it’s Disney jumping right out of the boob tube and silver screen into our comic pages. Whichever’s the case, Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird #1 would be a big move for Marvel and Disney this January.

The comic will be based on the fully designed but never constructed Museum of the Weird addition to Disney’s Haunted Mansion attraction. Museum of the Weird, designed in 1965 was meant to be a lead-in to The Haunted Mansion, and was also supposed to become a major motion picture but the film never saw the light of the day. Seekers of the Weird’s relationship to the theme parks seems to be set on stone with one of the Disney Imagineers, Brian Crosby providing a variant cover. The story would center Maxwell and Melody as they pave their way through the museum after their parents are kidnapped attempting to stop an evil secret society.

 

Here’s the solicitation text and some preview pages:

Marvel is pleased to present your very first look at Disney Kingdoms: Seekers of the Weird #1, from the critically acclaimed creative team of Brandon Seifert and Karl Moline!
