Discover A New Adventure In The World Of The Cult Sensation In Fall 2020<\/em><\/p>\n

BOOM! Studios is proud to announce\u00a0OVER THE GARDEN WALL: THE BENEVOLENT SISTERS OF CHARITY<\/strong>, a brand new original graphic novel written by Sam Johns and illustrated by Jim Campbell, set in the world inspired by the Emmy\u00ae Award-winning Cartoon Network animated series,Over The Garden Wall<\/em>, available in Fall 2020.<\/p>\n

Over the Garden Wall<\/em>\u00a0is the hit animated television miniseries created by Patrick McHale for Cartoon Network. The show follows two half-brothers as they journey through the strange and haunting Unknown, with Beatrice, a talking bird, as their companion as they search for a way home. The show is based on McHale\u2019s animated short film Tome of the Unknown, which was produced as part of Cartoon Network Studios’ shorts development program.\u00a0Over the Garden Wall<\/em>\u00a0was broadcast throughout the week of November 3, 2014 to November 7, 2014.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s another day in the Unknown but Wirt isn\u2019t feeling too well so when they come across a stately building run by the Benevolent Sisters of Charity who take care of all sick souls, he jumps at the chance to be pampered by the doting nurses. When the nurses frown on animals entering the facility, Wirt abandons Beatrice and Greg\u2019s frog to the elements, then drags Greg with him into the open arms of the Benevolent Sisters. Those arms wrap a bit tight, though, and even when he\u2019s feeling better, the Sisters don\u2019t seem to want him to leave. And where did Greg go?<\/p>\n

Sam Johns is a writer living in Brooklyn, NY. \u00a0They graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2012 and have been making comics ever since. \u00a0When they\u2019re not telling their own stories, they love to read horror novels aloud to their dog Khaleesi.<\/p>\n

“The first time I saw\u00a0Over the Garden Wall<\/em>, I accidentally binged it in a single day. \u00a0Since then I\u2019ve watched it in one sitting many times\u2026 but, you know, intentionally. \u00a0I\u2019m the oldest of six siblings, so it was an absolute joy to write about the incredible bond between brothers, and the sometimes incredible fights that come with that closeness.\u201d said writer Sam Johns. \u201cI was even able to insert some of my Mom into the story! She\u2019s a nurse! But, like, a much better at her job, less scary nurse. I also think growing up in Pennsylvania gave me an edge. \u00a0The forests there are just like the Edelwoods, and I took a lot of inspiration from hiking there with my friends!”<\/p>\n

Jim Campbell is a cartoonist, illustrator, comic book colorist, and animator who served as a storyboard artist for Patrick McHale’s\u00a0Over the Garden Wall\u00a0<\/em>miniseries for Cartoon Network \u00a0in 2014. He has illustrated various\u00a0Over the Garden Wall<\/em>comic books as well as an original graphic novel Over the\u00a0Garden Wall: Distillatoria<\/em>for BOOM! Studios. Campbell has been drawing comics off and on since teaming up with the Meatha\u00fcs collective in 2001. He has been a color artist for Dark Horse, Marvel, Spongebob Comics, Mad Magazine, and Tony Millionaire. In his spare time, he plays in the Brooklyn band Paper Fleet.<\/p>\n

“It’s exciting to step into the world of\u00a0Over the Garden Wall<\/em>\u00a0with the talented Sam Johns. I’m thrilled to show fans of the show exactly what Greg, Wirt, and Beatrice are up to now as they run into yet another group of mysterious folks in the depths of the woods and try their best to survive the experience.” said artist, Jim Campbell.<\/p>\n

OVER THE GARDEN WALL: THE BENEVOLENT SISTERS OF CHARITY<\/strong>\u00a0is the latest release from BOOM! Studios\u2019 award-winning KaBOOM! imprint, home to comics for middle grade and younger readers including licensed series such asAdventure Time, Steven Universe, Regular Show, Ben 10,<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Over The Garden Wall,\u00a0<\/em>along with original series like\u00a0Just Beyond: The Scare School<\/em>\u00a0by R.L. Stine and Kelly & Nichole Matthews,\u00a0Hex<\/em>\u00a0Vet<\/em>\u00a0by Sam Davies,\u00a0RuinWorld<\/em>\u00a0by Derek Laufman,\u00a0Hotel<\/em>\u00a0Dare<\/em>\u00a0by Terry Blas and Claudia Aguirre, and\u00a0Pandora\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0Legacy<\/em>\u00a0by Kara Leopard, Kelly & Nichole Matthews.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs usual, Wirt just wants some assurance that everything will be okay but The Unknown is\u00a0mysterious and never exactly what it seems, so trusting the wrong people in the forest can end badly for all involved.\u201d said Matthew Levine, Editor, BOOM! Studios. \u201cSam and Jim guide our young adventurers through this particular health scare with plenty of twists and surprises along the way for fans of\u00a0Over the Garden Wall<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
