My Lion King Forum

The event in this comic may not happen for another month or so, but I figured I'd post this story here now, lest I forget to later:

"The Great Festival of the Sun"

Though this version of the comic was from a series of Polish magazines (scanned and uploaded by DevART user MaeraFay), apparently it was first published as a series of black and white strips in an American newspaper, with one new row appearing each day. The reason this comic looks a little "chopped up" in places is because the rows originally spanned both pages instead of staying confined to one, so I had to reorder them to follow the conventional comic book format.

Enjoy!

Your link is broken. Here's the correct one.

Also, it seems like some of the pages are missing.

Ach, sorry about that. I fixed the link.

Regarding your comment about pages being missing, there are supposed to be 8 pages in all -- I didn't notice any missing ones.

I'm pretty sure 5 and 4 are misplaced, at the very least. The area being flooded before Scar and the hyenas redirect the river doesn't make much sense.

Ah -- pages 5 and 6 were in the wrong order. I resorted them.

That's the one I have stashed in my boxes in the attic! Except mine was cut out of the newspaper as it ran as a serial, so its a lot more boring in black & white. Well, black and very deep yellow now, lol. It's nice to see it stored somewhere online for if/when the newsprint bites the dust.

It was another great read. Thanks for sharing, Akril!

You're welcome!

Wow -- interesting! I didn't try searching for the black-and-white version of the story, but it's neat to hear that someone here actually has a copy of it.

Interesting. I wanna know about as many TLK comics/movies/toys or any products at all, and this is now added on to the list!
