An extra-big one-shot, Dumbo: Friends in High Places will come in a 72-page book featuring a series of interconnected tales from the mind of writer John Jackson Miller (Mass Effect) and a whole team of artists.

"Written by John Jackson Miller with art by Giovanni Rigano, Alberto Zanon, Paola Antista, and Michela Bovo, this anthology takes off to inspire with the magic of Disney Dumbo," Dark Horse's description of the book reads. "The beloved story of Dumbo the flying elephant and all his circus friends continues in five interconnected tales at Max Medici's circus—a place full of curiosity, wonder, and awe. Follow Dumbo and friends on a path of discovery where differences are celebrated, and dreams soar!"

Dumbo is the latest in a series of live-action remakes Disney has decided to do of their classic animated properties. After Dumbo, Disney has Aladdin out on May 24th and The Liong King out on July 19th. This is in addition to a live-action Lady and the Tramp movie due out when the company's streaming service debuts later this year.
