The nostalgia pendulum is swinging its way to the ’80s once more, and more specifically the Dungeons and Dragons Saturday morning cartoon series. Hasbro has announced a series of action figures based on the cartoon series, and now IDW Publishing is set to release Dungeons and Dragons: Saturday Morning Adventures, a four-issue mini-series, arriving in March 2023.
This “lost episode” is written by David M. Booher and Sam Maggs, with art by George Kambadais.
Noble ranger Hank, intrepid acrobat Diana, quiet thief Sheila, impulsive barbarian Bobby, fearful cavalier Eric, and uncertain magician Presto only want to get back to their own world. But escaping the Realms has turned out to be much harder than getting there! Danger lurks at every turn, the enigmatic Dungeon Master is less than helpful, and Venger—the force of evil—will stop at nothing to get his hands on the magical weapons that the kids have come to rely on. To top it off, Hank has made a startling discovery: Despite the dangers, Sheila, Bobby, Diana, and the others aren’t so sure they want to go home after all!
This is definitely a comic book we will be watching closely to see if it moves from a single mini-series to an ongoing series of mini-series.
