Charles Addams’ Addams Family are returning to comic books with a new one-shot this October coinciding with MGM’s animated film. Announced during the “IDW – 20 Years” panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego, Addams Family will be written by Zoe Quinn and drawn by Phil Murphy. The Wednesday Addams-focused story will be published by IDW.
Quinn says she was extremely excited to work on characters that she grew up with. She enjoyed playing around with the dynamic of very wholesome family dialogue with darker, gothy punchlines.
“It’s almost certainly the best comic I’ve written so far,” Quinn said.
Originally created as a gag strip for The New Yorker in 1939, the franchise grew to be a popular TV series and film franchise.
Addams Family #1 is scheduled to be released in October.
