Earthworm Jim The Comic Book
Earthworm Jim The Comic Book is the epic story of Earthworm Jim as told by his creator, Doug TenNapel.
Doug has stated in "Earthworm Jim: Launch The Cow!" that this story ruminated in his head for at least 27 years. He has expressed that he didn't have the opportunity to tell the true origin story of Earthworm Jim back in 1993, as there simply wasn't enough video game cartridge space for it.
This is a graphic novel on-going series that tells the definitive story of Doug TenNapels characters from the Earthworm Jim universe.
Earthworm Jim Launch The Cow!
The first book "Earthworm Jim: Launch The Cow!" introduces the main cast from the video game and TV show: Earthworm Jim, Psycrow, Princess What's-Her-Name, Evil the Cat, Snot, the Queen, Peter Puppy and Professor Monkey-For-A-Head. It was successfully crowd-funded and later published in 2019.
