Legendary Comics is a United States-based comic book publisher established in 2010 and operating as a subsidiary of Legendary Entertainment, with its main office located in Burbank, California. The company specializes in creating both original comic series and licensed adaptations derived from Legendary Pictures' film properties.

History

In 2010, Legendary Entertainment inaugurated Legendary Comics, naming Bob Schreck as editor-in-chief alongside Greg Tumbarello as editor. The company’s debut graphic novel, Frank Miller's Holy Terror (2011), launched at the top position on the graphic novel charts, swiftly positioning the publisher within the top ten of the comics industry. Among its prominent titles are Pacific Rim: Tales from Year Zero, which reached #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list, and Godzilla: Awakening, also recognized as a Best Seller. The series Annihilator, created by Grant Morrison and Frazer Irving, received an Eisner Award nomination. In 2020, Legendary Comics released a Dracula adaptation featuring the likeness of Bela Lugosi, made possible through collaboration with the Lugosi estate.
