In anticipation of DreamWorks Animation’s 3D comedy adventure Mr. Peabody & Sherman
coming to theaters on March 7, 2014, IDW will release a comic series. Additionally, IDW is planning a brand-new Rocky & Bullwinkle series for
early 2014 release.
While creative details have yet to be announced, there
are also plans for reprints of the wealth of previously published comics based
on Ward’s colorful characters.
“Jay Ward’s characters and concepts are landmarks in
animation storytelling, and they remain as funny and relevant as ever,” said
IDW President Greg Goldstein. “The phrase ‘fan-favorite’ is often overused, but
in this case, it’s well earned and justified. We’re thrilled to add these brands
to our ever growing list of all-ages titles.”
At once hilarious, heart-warming, and ahead of their
time, this cast of characters, first introduced by Jay Ward in 1959, have
delighted generations of all ages, and needless to say, IDW can’t wait for fans
to see their return to comics!
