Madagascar

A single-issue comic adaptation from Tokyopop, released in 2005, this title translates the story of the animated film Madagascar into sequential art. It captures the core premise of four pampered zoo animals—a lion, zebra, giraffe, and hippo—who find themselves shipwrecked on the island of Madagascar. While the comic is a straightforward tie-in, it serves as a snapshot of the early 2000s trend of adapting major animated features into printed form.
