Peter Pan comics
From Neverpedia
Peter Pan and related characters have appeared in comics form many times over the past century-plus. Note: this page is a subset of Peter Pan books.
- Disney has produced various adaptations of the story, based on their 1953 animated version. Some of this material has been reprinted many times. The original ones were published by Dell Comics:
- Peter Pank by Spanish cartoonist "Max" (Francesc Capdevila) (1985-1990), an unauthorised comic reinterpretation for "adults only", published in three European-format albums: Peter Pank, El Licantropunk, and Pankdinista.
- Peter Pan by French cartoonist Régis Loisel (1990-2004), an unauthorised prequel comic book. A bawdy, violent series of six albums (two of which won the Angoulême Audience Award), giving Peter Pan's back story a distinctly Dickensian flavor. The original story was in the public domain in France when the first volume was released.
- Peter Pan: Return to Never-Never Land by Ron Fortier and Gary Kato (1991), an unauthorised sequel. Peter brings two modern African-American boys to Never-Never Land, published by Malibu Comics under the Adventure Comics imprint, two issues later reprinted in a single volume.
- Hook by Charles Vess (1991), a graphic-novelization of the Steven Spielberg/Robin Williams film.
- The Lost by Marc Andreyko, Galen Showman, and Jay Geldhof (1997), an unauthorised sequel comic book. This urban horror-themed mini-series published by Caliber Comics and Chaos! Comics continues the story in present-day New York City, with Peter revealed as a vampire boy hustler who leads a small group of vampire boys.
- Peter Pan and the Warlords of Oz by Rob Hand (1998), an unauthorised, irregular series of comics featuring Neverland characters crossing over with The Wizard of Oz, and Alice in Wonderland.
- ロストボーイズ (Lost Boys) by Kaname Itsuki (2004), an unauthorised one-volume manga adaptation, re-imagined as a yaoi (boys love) story, translated to English and published in 2006.
- Lost Girls by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie (July 2006), an unauthorised reinterpretation graphic novel. A controversial use of Wendy Darling alongside Dorothy Gale from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Alice from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in 1913, telling each other stories about their sexual experiences. In it, Peter and the Lost Boys are a handful of boys with whom Wendy had a sexual encounter in Kensington Gardens.
- Muppet Peter Pan by Grace Randolph and Amy Mebberson (2009), a comics adaptation of the story featuring the Muppet characters "playing" the various parts.
- Peter Pan the Vampire by Gary Brantner (2009), a self-published comic book series.
- Neverland by Joe Brusha (2009), a comics sequel in Zenescope's "Grimm Fairy Tales" line, in which Peter has grown up and turned evil, and old Hook is the only one who can stop him. Also, Tales from Neverland an anthology-style spin-off.
