Dynamite Entertainment announced Sweeney Boo is adding her unique take on the Disney Villains with Cruella De Vil in December 2023.
“I’ve always had a softer spot for villainous characters, not because of their intentions but mostly because I’d always be so curious about what brought them to be who they are,” said writer Sweeney Boo in a press release from Dynamite Entertainment. “I feel like they offer so many layers of personality, and someone who is not perfect is much easier to relate to. What makes Cruella, Cruella? What makes her snap? What makes her laugh? It’s a really fun thing to try to discover!”
She has a dastardly reputation, but could it all be false? There is absolutely no evidence that noted couturière Cruella De Vil was ever involved in the theft of prized Dalmatian puppies. Yet in spite of that, her name has been dragged through the tabloids and her reputation in the world of high society is hanging by a thread. But nothing can hold Cruella back from the glory of glamor and adoration. That’s why she’s willing to do anything – anything! – to restore her stature in the eyes of her peers. But what if that involves stealing the royal family’s priceless jewels?
Joining Sweeney Boo is artist Miriana Puglia, whose work you’ve seen in the pages of Red Sonja / Hell Sonja, Zorro, and more.
Disney Villains: Cruella De Vil #1 arrives in December 2023.
