You've probably heard of Boom studio's Peanuts comic book. In April, IDW's releasing a new Popeye comic series penned by Roger Langridge (which promises to be Thimble Theater inspired)... and here's the latest one...

Garfield written by Mark Evanier... the writer of Garfield and Friends and The Garfield Show.

I always wanted to see a Garfield comic book series. Sure, they have some hard bound kiddy Cinemanga type adaptions of the Garfield Show, but this is the first comic book to feature Garfield. And with mark writing, it's going to be a blast!

Now, I haven't seen a regular comic book series based on a classic comic strip since Marvel Comic's Heathcliff (which ran fifty something issues... and for the first few years, it was a bi-monthly series... so that's a feat in and of itself). There was a small series of Dick Tracy comics from Gladstone publishing when that movie came out, but they were just old strips printed in comic form, and one graphic novel to tie in with the movie.
