Viz Media has announced that Super Mario Bros. fans will soon be able to get their hands on the long out-of-print Super Mario Adventures, with a new graphic novel edition of the comic series set for release on October 11th.
Originally printed in Nintendo Power magazine in 1992 and 1993, Super Mario Adventures is a riotous and wacky tale featuring beloved characters Mario and Luigi (and Yoshi!). In the story, the peril-plagued Princess Toadstool is kidnapped by the diabolical deadbeat Bowser but super plumbers Mario and Luigi hatch a plan with their new friend Yoshi to rescue her. Are the Super Mario Bros.’ plans a pipe dream? Can they stop the Koopa King before he forces the Princess to be his bride?!
“This fantastic new edition will delight legions of video game, pop culture and comic fans with imaginative adventures inspired by Mario and Luigi from the classic Super Mario Bros. games,” says Beth Kawasaki, Senior Editorial Director for VIZ Media. “Join the fun as gaming’s most legendary pair of brothers attempt to rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of the Koopa King!”
