Press Release
Dynamite Entertainment has announced that their next classic adaptation
will take readers down the rabbit hole into the astonishing world of
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with their upcoming
The Complete Alice in Wonderland. As with Dynamite¹s recently released
The Complete Dracula, this comic book adaptation of Alice's Adventures
in Wonderland will be a complete adaptation and not a reinvention.
Dynamite's Complete Alice in Wonderland will be written by John Reppion
and Leah Moore (the same writing team bringing fans Dynamite's The
Complete Dracula and Sherlock Holmes) and will be based on the original
story by Lewis Carroll.
"The Complete Alice is a project that we're very excited about," John
Reppion stated. "People seem to have fixated on the idea of
re-imagining the Alice stories for a long time now but Lewis Carroll's
tales are already so fantastic - their logic so beautifully and eerily
surreal yet familiar - that we feel they more than stand up today and
will work wonderfully in comics."
"When we first discussed The Complete Alice In Wonderland, Leah and
John were brought up as we were very happy with their Complete Dracula
story and Sherlock Holmes story," stated Dynamite President and
Publisher Nick Barrucci. "Alice seemed like a ‘no brainer' to bring
them on board. When we asked them, they immediately agreed, and we
can't wait to bring the ‘dynamite' story to fans."
Lewis Carrolls stories of young Alice and her adventures in Wonderland
began in 1865 and remain incredibly popular with children as well as
adults to this day. The first book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,
follows the imagination of Alice down a rabbit and into a world filled
with anthropomorphic animals and bewildering characters such as the Mad
Hatter, the Queen of Hearts, and, of course, the Cheshire Cat.
