Captain Underpants Goes Manga: A Collaboration Between Dav Pilkey and Motojiro

Dav Pilkey, the creative force behind the Captain Underpants series, is teaming up with manga artist Motojiro to bring a new twist to the beloved story. Scholastic's Graphix imprint has announced the upcoming release of Captain Underpants: The First Epic Manga, scheduled to hit shelves on April 7.

A Sneak Peek into the Manga World

A sneak peek illustration and trailer have already been revealed, giving fans a glimpse into the visual style of this exciting collaboration. Motojiro's manga artistry promises to bring a fresh perspective to the wacky world of George Beard, Harold Hutchins, and their underpants-clad hero.

Full Color and Flip-o-Ramas

Unlike traditional black-and-white manga, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Manga will be in full color, enhancing the visual appeal and bringing the characters to life with vibrant hues. Adding to the fun, the book will also include the signature "Flip-o-Ramas," a feature that has become synonymous with the Captain Underpants series.

Left-to-Right Reading

In a departure from traditional manga conventions, this adaptation will read from left to right, making it more accessible to readers familiar with Western comics and books. This decision aims to broaden the appeal of the manga to a wider audience, including existing Captain Underpants fans.

Reliving the Original Story

The manga will faithfully follow the story arc of the original Adventures of Captain Underpants chapter book. Readers can expect to see George and Harold's mischievous antics as they hypnotize their principal, Mr. Krupp, and transform him into their comic book creation, Captain Underpants.

A Global Phenomenon

The Adventures of Captain Underpants series, launched in 1997 by Dav Pilkey, has become a global phenomenon, selling over 90 million copies in print. The books have been translated into 37 languages, captivating young readers around the world with their humor and irreverence.

Expanding the Captain Underpants Universe

The Captain Underpants universe has expanded beyond books to include a feature film and an animated series. Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie was released in June 2017, bringing the characters to the big screen. Netflix then premiered The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants animated series in July 2018, further solidifying the franchise's popularity.

Meet Motojiro

Motojiro is a manga creator known for his work on the Time Warp and Battle Brave series, published by Asahi Shimbun Publications. His experience in creating engaging manga stories makes him a fitting collaborator for this project. Fans are eager to see how he translates the distinctive humor and visual style of Captain Underpants into the manga format.
