Product Description
Jack Skellington s got the blues. He s sick and tired of his hometown holiday, Halloween, and is longing for something new. But when his soul searching leads to his good-intentioned kidnapping of Santa, things start getting pretty hairy! Now, for the first time, fans can read the story of how Jack almost ruined Christmas in manga form. This Japanese comic retelling of one of Disney s most enduring films is the coolest thing to hit the shelves this season.

 Great, but not entirely as enjoyable as the movie May 9, 2008

I'm a huge NBC fan & I collect just about everything that is related to it that I can afford. When I discovered that there was a manga version of the movie, I was overjoyed & purchased it immediately. While I did enjoy the manga, I just didn't get the same rush from the book that I did with the movie. I can't quite put my finger on why (apart from the lack of music), since the book is a very faithful adaptation of the movie. Perhaps it's because the book is told more from Sally's POV than Jack's or because the black & white artwork (while beautiful) lacks the colors of the movie.
Would I recommend this to a friend? Despite not getting the same rush, I would. It's very well drawn & very faithful to the movie. The plot is very clearly done, so it's possible for someone who's never seen NBC (if such a person exists) to read the manga & know what is going on.

If you love Nightmare Before Christmas and manga, you'll love this, too! A unique addition to my son's NBChristmas and manga collections!

The drawings alone are worth buying this manga. It is also in the traditional Japanese format which makes it 10 X more fun to read. The story is nearly identical to the movie which may or may not be a good thing.
another thing to add to your collection February 24, 2006

If you're a fan of NBC, you already know the story forward and backward. This is just another interesting way to look at the story. The drawings are very nice. I'm not sure if the dialogs match those in the original movie though. Anyway, I'd recommemd adding this to your NBC collection (and play the soundtrack while reading it if you have one).
Still waiting for a NBC2... February 7, 2006

This is the Manga version of Tim Burton's masterpiece; A Nightmare Before Christmas. It comes complete with Japanese text SFX and English translation and is even published right-to-left! (which is authentic Manga style). I must say I prefer this way to left-to-right publications. The only downside to this Manga was it was more focused on Sally and her, not Jack. I'm a fan of Jack and reading it all about her disappointed me. But I still bought it to see the Pumpkin Kings reign live on.
