One of the staples of Fox’s Sunday primetime Animation Domination block is coming to a newsstand near you. Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products and Dynamite Entertainment announced today that they’ve partnered to develop a comic based on "Bob’s Burgers".

“We could not be more pleased to add Bob’s Burgers to the our line of comics,” said Dynamite CEO Nick Barrucci, in a statement Wednesday. “It’s stylish and hilarious, a feel-good concept that can be both heartwarming and mischievous at the same time. When we told our team that we were approaching Fox for the license, everyone lit up at the opportunity. We look forward to working with our partners at Fox to put out a fantastic product that will appeal to readers of all ages.”



The announcement today isn’t the only Comic-Con presence "Bob’s Burgers", which debuted on Fox in 2011, will have in San Diego this year.

There’s a "Bob’s Burgers" Comic-Con panel scheduled for July 19 with creator and executive producer Loren Bouchard, executive producer Jim Dauterive and members of the cast.

Hit animated Fox comedy "Bob's Burgers" is following its brethren "The Simpsons" into comic book format, with today's announcement of an August launch for Bob's Burgers: The Comic Book, created by writers and artists from the show itself.

"If you like Bob's Burgers and you like comic books, then you may feel like you're living in one of the greatest times in human history, because Bob's Burgers and comic books are coming together in the form of Bob's Burgers: The Comic Book," show creator Loren Bouchard said in a statement accompanying the announcement Friday.

He added, "Of course, we could really mess it up. Then you'd feel like you were living in one of the worst times in human history. Either way, we hope you'll check out the first few issues."





Dynamite CEO Nick Barrucci described the new comic book series as "fantastic," noting that the team at "Bob's Burgers" animation studio Bento Box Entertainment has "put together some incredible stories and artwork, perfectly suited for the comic book format" for the title.

The first issue of the new series will be available for pre-order next month, ahead of its release this August, and will feature five strips, according to publisher Dynamite Entertainment:

Louise's Unsolved Mysteries, Tina's Erotic Friend Fiction, A Gene Belcher Original Musical, Letters Written by Linda and Bob's Burgers of the Day.
