Just in time for Halloween, this compendium features all of fans’ favorite stories as well as a look into the life and brand new adventures at the Scary Godmother’s house.
The Scary Godmother series, which launched in 1997, received critical acclaim and won Eisner Awards in the “Best Title for a Younger Audience” and “Best Painter/Multimedia Artist (Interior)” categories. It also inspired two successful children’s films titled Scary Godmother: Halloween Spooktakular and Scary Godmother: The Revenge of Jimmy. The series was featured in The Spectacular Sisterhood of Superwomen: Awesome Female Characters from Comic Book History by Hope Nicholson. Recently, the Scary Godmother series has gained renewed popularity, especially on TikTok, leading to a resurgence in interest for the title.
Now longtime fans will finally have the opportunity to revisit the iconic, eccentric fairy-witch from start to finish. They can hop on the nostalgia bus and journey back to the Frightside to reconnect with Scary Godmother and her friends Mr. Pettibone, Bug-A-Boo, Hannah, Orson, Max and Ruby the Vampires, Harry the Werewolf, and more. This is the perfect read for fans of campy, goth-influenced animation such as Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Coraline, and Corpse Bride. Scary Godmother is a must-read, all-ages comic for the spooky season.
