The licensed Dynamite series shifts the story to Sally with Jack Skellington largely offstage.

Overview

  • Dynamite Entertainment unveiled the four-issue project at New York Comic Con as an authorized continuation of the 1993 film’s world.
  • Titled Disney Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas: The Shiver of Christmas Town, the series will begin with issue #1 in January 2026.
  • Writer Torunn Grønbekk leads the creative team with artist Edu Menna, colorist Adriano Augusto, and letterer Taylor Esposito.
  • The plot follows Sally and Dr. Finkelstein’s new creation, Shiver, after Lock, Shock, and Barrel bring the creature to Christmas Town.
