OVER THE GARDEN WALL: HOLLOW TOWN

BOOM! Studios has announced a September launch for Over the Garden Wall: Hollow Town, a five-issue series by writer Celia Lowenthal and artist Jorge Monlongo.
Here's how BOOM! describes the book:
"Lowenthal and Monlongo send Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice on an all-new adventure in the Unknown as they stumble on a small town inhabited entirely by eerie porcelain doll-people. After Greg loses a shoe to a pond-turtle, it's up to Wirt to earn money for a new pair, leading him to babysit some doll-children that may cause Wirt to stay in town forever."
The first issue features a main cover by Lowenthal, along with variants by Natalie Hall and Miguel Mercado.
gWith Over the Garden Wall: Hollow Town, I've been trying to lean into and expand upon some of the great aspects of the show: adolescent social anxiety, patterns and tropes from fairytales, and -- of course -- spooky things from the woods that arenft quite what they seem," Lowenthal said. "Over The Garden Wall is just such a good story; it's really awesome to get to play around in its universe and, hopefully, do something new and fun!"
