Nintendo Power’s Super Mario Adventures to be reprinted later this year
Update (8/8): The Super Mario Adventures reprint is now up for pre-order on Amazon. Also up on Amazon Canada here.
Original (8/3): For a full year in 1992, Nintendo Power ran a comic known as “Super Mario Adventures”. Kentaro Takekuma wrote the strips, which were loosely based on Super Mario World.
Super Mario Adventures is returning after more than 20 years. VIZ Media will have the comics rounded up in a graphic novel format on October 12, according to Things From Another World.
The site has the following description:
“Super Mario Adventures, inspired by the bestselling Super Mario video game franchise, is a collection of comics that originally ran in Nintendo Power magazine in 1992-93. 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?! Long out of print, this stunning, full-color graphic novel is now available once again!”
