IDW Publishing is thrilled to offer an all-new comics series, expanding on James Patterson's record-breaking, #1 bestselling young adult novel, Witch & Wizard. Available in comic and books stores throughout North American, WITCH & WIZARD: THE BATTLE FOR SHADOWLAND takes the beleaguered siblings, Whit and Wisty Allgood, on an all-new, exciting adventure in their struggle against the magic-hating New Order.

"This series adds an entirely new layer to the Witch & Wizard universe," said Patterson. "Starting today, we're offering fans not only new content but also new ways to experience a story through the comics medium, in print or in digital form."

Helming this first WITCH & WIZARD story arc, comics mainstay writer Dara Naraghi packs all the action Patterson fans love into this new story of magical powers and inter-dimensional evil, under careful direction of the famed author himself. Artist Victor Santos brings the incredible adventure to life and provides eye-catching covers. Fan-favorite artist J.K. Woodward also contributed a painted cover for the debut issue of this five-part comic series. Award-winning artist Fabio Moon joined Santos on covers for the rest of the arc.

In addition to comic and book stores throughout North America, WITCH & WIZARD: THE BATTLE FOR SHADOWLAND comics are also available through the Apple App Store for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, and the Sony Digital Comics store for the Sony PSP. From iTunes, fans can download either the free IDW Comics storefront application, or the issue's stand alone app for the iPhone and iPod touch.

For the iPad, fans can purchase WITCH & WIZARD: THE BATTLE FOR SHADOWLAND comics through the free IDW Comics storefront. Taking full advantage of the iPad's full-screen, full-color capabilities, the IDW Comics app offers the next level of reading experience to fans.

WITCH & WIZARD: THE BATTLE FOR SHADOWLAND is the first series launched from IDW's exclusive partnership with worldwide bestselling author James Patterson to publish original comic stories and graphic novel adaptations of his top-selling novels. Under this partnership, Patterson will develop completely new, page-turning comic book stories, exclusively with IDW.
