Disney Licensed Publishing has asked IDW Publishing to create a new series of Star Wars-inspired comic books for young readers.
Lucasfilm is thrilled to expand our relationship with the talented and creative folks at IDW to bring Star Wars comics to kids,” said Michael Siglain, creative director, Lucasfilm Publishing.
“IDW has an incredible pedigree of talent and we look forward to working with them on the creation of these fun, action-packed adventures that span the entire Star Wars saga,” he added.
The first title of the partnership Star Wars Adventures will join Disney’s current Journey to Star Wars: The Last Jedi publishing programme that will see the release of an array of content leading up to the film’s release this December. The comic books are likely to be available this fall.
However, additional storyline details for the comic series will be made public at a later date.
It is said that IDW Publishing will release a new collection of Star Wars newspaper strips this May.
