Disney/PIXAR Onward: Tales of the Manticore

Stemming from the upcoming Pixar film Onward comes an origin story for the proud and noble Manticore!

Follow the Manticore on her quest to the Cave of a Thousand Warriors, from whence no other warrior has EVER returned. Along the way, the Manticore will make many strange allies, namely a very out-there Sprite named Pamila (Pam for short).

Dark Horse Books presents DisneyPIXAR's Onward: Manticore, a 72-page original graphic novel written by acclaimed scribe Mariko Tamaki (X-23, This One Summer)! A perfect tie in to the film to pick up in anticipation of the movie!
