Aladdin: Legacy of the Lost TPB in July

If you clamor for something enough eventually you'll get it. I'm guessing either fans clamored enough for Radical to compile the three Aladdin: Legacy of the Lost issues into one trade paperback or that was their business model all along. Either way, this July sees the three Aladdin: Legacy of the Lost issues compiled into one trade paperback.

Written by and Ian Edginton with interior art by Stjepan Sejic and Patrick Reilly, Aladdin: Legacy of the Lost breathes new life into the centuries old tale. The new deluxe trade will collect the full miniseries along with extras, including an in-depth interview with Edginton, never-before-seen production renderings and a gallery featuring the artwork of Luis Royo, Marko Djurdjevic, Arthur Suydam, Clayton Crain and many more. The TPB is available for order and is expected to ship July 2010.
