|
Scar is the antagonist in Disney’s The Lion King, played by Jeremy Irons in the original film and Chiwetel Ejiofor in the remake. Based on King Claudius from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, he is the brother of Mufasa, ruler of the Pride Lands, and in line to Mufasa’s throne until Mufasa’s son Simba arrives. Scar deposes the throne by killing Mufasa and exiling Simba, blaming his brother’s death on his nephew. We know the story. Or do we?
In April, Dynamite Entertainment – who have published Disney comics Gargoyles and the upcoming Darkwing Duck – will be publishing a Scar comic by Chuck Brown and Trevor Fraley. And will look at the origins of his plan to murder his own brother and introducing the shaman of the Pride Lands, Rafiki. The solicit runs below and looks like it will start a new line from Dynamite Entertainment, Disney Villains. Chuck Brown is best known for comics such as Bitter Root, Black Manta, Aquamen, On The Stump, John Cater Of Mars, Flawed and Trenchcoats, Cigarettes & Shotguns. Disnet Villains: Scar #1 is published in April 2023, and comes with many, many, many covers, from the likes of Jahnoy Lindsay, Karen Darboe, Erica Henderson, Jung-Geun Yoon, Gene Ha, David Nakayama and Amanda Conner.
