In 2012, the animated half-hour comedy series, Littlest
Pet Shop, created by Hasbro Studios and airing on the HUB Network launched and
is based on the wildly popular toy line.
“With the incredible triumph of MY LITTLE PONY comics, it
should come as no surprise that we are now looking toward LITTLEST PET SHOP to
continue that success,” said Michael Kelly, Hasbro’s Director of Global
Publishing. “It’s wonderful to be part of the resurgence of interest in
all-ages comics, and we are certain that LITTLEST PET SHOP comics will be
welcomed with great excitement by readers.”
The new comic series written by Georgia Ball (My Little
Pony) with art by Nico Peña and Antonio Campo (The Penguins of Madagascar)
follows the big adventures that ensue when Blythe Baxter discovers she can
miraculously talk with her animal friends and notices these pets may be small
in stature, but their personalities are larger than life!
Littlest Pet Shop joins My Little Pony as another
addition to the expanding library of all-ages comics from Hasbro and IDW.
“We’re thrilled to be working hand in hand with Hasbro on
another of their all-ages properties,” said David Hedgecock, IDW Managing
Editor, “We are excited for the opportunity to continue to grow this category
with fun, exciting, fresh stories that help build on the success of other IDW
hits like My Little Pony.
