Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys is being adapted by Dark Horse Comics by Eisner-nominated writer Marc Bernadin and artist Shawn Martinbrough. The series is planned for 8 issues, with issue #1 of Anansi Boys coming to comic stores June 26, 2024.
For those who have never had the pleasure of reading this book, here’s a quick synopsis:
“Fat” Charlie Nancy leads a boring life as a boring Londoner until he discovers two things: That his recently deceased father was, in fact, Anansi, the trickster god of African folklore, and that he has a twin brother he’s never met. All of this kicks off a reality-spanning odyssey of sibling rivalry, jealous deities, and one poor soul who’ll realize that being a god is more trouble than it’s worth.
