Dynamite Entertainment announced The Powerpuff Girls Halloween Special, the first in a series of quarterly comics to compliment the ongoing Powerpuff Girls series.
Amanda Deibert and Cat Staggs will take on writing and art duties for the special, which will arrive in October.
“I am so excited about this Powerpuff Girls story jam packed with pop-culture Halloween-eggs (is that a thing?) for horror-lovers and a multitude of mayhem and mix-ups with so many of our favorite villains,” said writer Amanda Deibert in a press release from Dynamite Entertainment. “Nothing could be better than the Powerpuff Girls saving Halloween! This is a TREAT for us (and our Powerpuff-loving daughter!)”
Spooky season is kicking off, and Buttercup has set her sights on winning a fun contest hosted by the Townsville Gazette – creating the best Halloween horror comic! Fans will not want to miss this clever, meta take on the medium.
Buttercup will scope out the big, old, possibly haunted hotel for inspiration. The only problem is, in spite of all its spooky appeals like the creepy hedge maze, staying at the hotel means there’s nowhere to trick or treat. Which leads Bubbles and Blossom to try and convince their sister to alter her plans a bit so they can all show off their costumes and enjoy the holiday in multiple ways.
The Powerpuff Girls Halloween Special is scheduled to arrive on October 23, 2024.
