How Many Disney Comics Are There?
Dynamite Entertainment’s Nightmare Before Christmas series isn’t the first Disney property the publisher has the rights to. In 2022, Dynamite began publishing an ongoing Gargoyles series from creator Greg Weisman and artist George Kambadais. A Darkwing Duck series followed approximately one month later, along with a Gargoyles: Dark Ages spin-off that began in July 2023 and a Negaduck series launching in Sept. 2023.

Additionally, the publisher has begun putting out a handful of series starring various Disney villains. These include The Lion King’s Scar, Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent, and Hercules’ Hades.
Directed by Henry Selick with a story by Tim Burton, The Nightmare Before Christmas is a stop-motion film released in 1993. The film follows Jack Skellington (voiced by Chris Sarandon, with Danny Elfman providing the character’s singing voice), the mayor of Halloweentown, as he learns about Christmas for the very first time and then makes plans to take over the holiday in a way that nearly ends in total disaster.
