A Sequel to Atlantis: The Lost Empire Arrives as a Graphic Novel

Twenty-five years after its 2001 release, Atlantis: The Lost Empire is returning with an official sequel — not on screen, but in graphic novel form. The original film broke with Disney's musical fairy‑tale template during the studio's Post‑Renaissance era, embracing a darker, highly stylized sci‑fi adventure shaped in part by comic artist Mike Mignola.

Though that bold experiment hurt its box office at the time, the movie has since built a devoted cult following. Published by Papercutz in partnership with Disney, Atlantis: The Lost Empire Vol. 1 – The Curse of Kurok arrives Oct. 13, 2026. Written by Matthew K.

Manning and illustrated by Christian Colbert, the story is a direct, character‑driven continuation that sends Milo and Kida up against a new monstrous threat.
