Carnival Row graphic novel announced

Amazon’s Carnival Row will be getting the graphic novel treatment thanks to Legendary Comics.

Tales of Carnival Row will bring new adventures based in the popular TV series. Writer George Mann, who is best known for their work in Wychwood, and the Newbury & Hobbes series, will collaborate with show writers C.M. Landrus, Charles Valasquez-Witosky, and Jordan Crair to form these new tales. Artwork will come from Magda Price, Giorgia Sposito, Gus Storms, Harvey M. Tolibao, and Ashley A. Woods.

The cover art, which can be seen below, was done by ZID, who is known for their work on Kingdom Kong and Dune: The Official Movie Graphic Novel. A variant cover art is done by Mike Collins, who recently worked on Doctor Who.

A synopsis for the graphic novel reads:

“In the dark and magical world of Carnival Row, there are many stories to be told. Readers can explore the Burgue, where war-weary humans and Fae strike an uneasy peace and eke out a meager coexistence in this new anthology graphic novel. Fans can take a closer look at the myths and half-truths surrounding their favorite characters, including Philo, Vignette, Millworthy, Agreus, Tourmaline, and Aisling.”

Legendary Comics senior vice president Robert Napton said this about the graphic novel:

“Carnival Row is such a rich world with so many interesting characters. The Row itself is a setting so full of mystery and lore, so it was fun to delve into some of the nooks and crannies in an anthology format to see what we might find.”

George Mann said this about working on the forthcoming release:

“Stepping onto Carnival Row and being given the chance to walk a few steps in the boots of some of these fantastic characters was a real joy. The setting is so vivid and gritty, but with an undercurrent of delicious magic and folklore that makes it all the more compelling. Crafting new tales for these characters alongside a host of talented artists was a huge amount of fun."

Tales of Carnival Row will be released on July 26, 2022. Pre-orders are live right now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indie Bound, and ComicShopLocator.com.

Carnival Row’s second season wrapped filming back in September.
