Jim Zubkavich is going to be writing Figment, a comic based on the purple dragon who was an Epcot mascot back in the day. Here’s how he sells it:
This is a roaring adventure story giving readers the origin of the man who will be known as Dreamfinder and the creation of his closest ally, the curious and courageous dragon called Figment. Like the name of the ride this story is built from, it really will be a “Journey Into Imagination” through and through; fantastic locations, strange denizens, unexpected challenges, and big dreams.
