The year 2023 has a lot of milestones, and one of those milestones to celebrate is the 30th anniversary of the most beloved animation film of all time, The Nightmare Before Christmas.  There are plenty of collectibles being released this year to celebrate and honor this movie at such a huge milestone, but one that has just been announced is that Dynamite Entertainment has picked up a license for Tim Burton’s classic film.  With this comes new merchandise and content, and with that being said, Dynamite Entertainment will be coming out with a comic series about the animated flick.

The comic series will be written by Torunn Grønbekk, who has written several successful comics for Marvel such as Darth Vader: Black, White, and Red, Venom, Thor, Red Sonjay, and many more. It is expected to be released sometime in 2024.

First released on October 13, 1993, this stop animation film created by the mind of Tim Burton, was a hit at the theaters and has now gone on to be a major cult classic. It was praised for its amazing stop-motion animation, amazing soundtrack, and how great a story it was. The movie has grossed a total of $91.5M on its $18M budget over the several rereleases it’s had in the last 27 years.

The film’s story “follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown’s beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the “real world.” When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life — he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry.”

While many fans have been eager for a sequel or some type of spinoff to happen, nothing has been announced or has happened yet. A book was released last year called Long Live The Pumpkin Queen, which follows the story of Sally and is right after the events of the film. If a sequel or spinoff film were to happen, it would have to be in the beloved stop-motion animation that made the first film famous.

Other things that have been announced this year for the film’s 30th anniversary are a 13-foot-tall Jack Skellington at Home Depot, a new Hot Topic Collection, a new Funko Pop line, and a new 4K Blu-ray edition of the film.
