Adventure Time (comic)
Talk21this wiki
Adventure Time is a comic book series published by BOOM! Studios, written by Dinosaur Comics creator Ryan North, and with art by Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb.[1] The comic book is released monthly,[2] starting with issue #1 in February 2012.[3] Adam Muto has stated that it takes place in a different reality.[4]

Format
Edit
Each issue includes at least two comics: The lead story is written by North and drawn in the style of the cartoon by Paroline and Lamb; and one or more backup stories made by an indie comic artist, drawn in their own style.[2]
The main story features small messages at the bottom of many of the pages. This is a trademark of writer Ryan North, whose Dinosaur Comics always contain semi-hidden messages and commentary.
The first storyline in the series is a four-parter by North, split between issues #1 through #4.[5]

The Adventure UnfoldsEdit
The Adventure Unfolds is a fold out comic by Jon Chad limited to 700 copies. It was only available at San Diego Comic Con 2012 for the price of $30.
Added by MikedddddTriviaEdit
- Pendleton Ward made a cover for the first issue of the comic.[11]
Added by Cornprone- Issues 1 and 3 of the comic contain messages written by Marceline in a Pigpen cipher. The known letters of the cipher are in the chart to the right. Note that the first section spells out "vampire" and the rest of the letters are apparently in alphabetical order, making it fairly easy to guess the unknown letters.
- In the collection of the issues 1-4, they have messages at the bottom.

Ryan North: "The book's divided into two parts. There's the part that I'm writing, which is on-model, looks like the show... continuing the adventure part of it. And the other part, [every month] there'll be a stand-alone story done by an indie cartoonist, done in their own style, which I think is really cool." - ↑ http://ryannorth.tumblr.com/post/23729809967/something-that-comes-up-pretty-often-is-this
