Publisher’s description
THE ONCE AND FUTURE KINGS! Get ready to return to the sweeping plains of Africa for a brand-new series of adventures starring Mufasa and Simba! Written and illustrated by acclaimed talent EDWIN GALMON and set in the golden time before the rise of Scar, The Lion King follows the ruler of the Pride Lands and his young heir as they navigate the complex network of relationships that make up their kingdom — and learn firsthand how to defend it against the forces that threaten it both from the outside and from within. Featuring appropriately epic covers by GALMON, MEGHAN HETRICK, JACOB EDGAR, and GIULIA LOMURNO, The Lion King #1 deepens the bond between father and son that lies at the heart of one of the greatest animated films ever made!
