LOS ANGELES, CA (April 23, 2018) ? BOOM! Studios and WWE announced today WWE: UNDERTAKER, an all-new original graphic novel exploring the career of the legendary Superstar, considered one of the greatest performers in WWE history.

"I was 12 years old in 1990 when Undertaker debuted in WWE, and from the moment I saw him, he was my guy," said writer Chad Dundas. "I responded immediately, not only to his obvious physical attributes, but the character development and storytelling that made him such a unique figure in the WWE landscape,"

"I'm so happy that I was chosen to draw this story for so many reasons," said Rodrigo Lorenzo. "Since I was a kid, Undertaker has been my favorite WWE Superstar and it's flattering that BOOM!

Studios. "Working closely with our partners at WWE has allowed us to go deeper into the history of Undertaker than you've ever gone before, with revelations that span his decades-long career."
