Dark Horse And Mattel Announce New Ongoing ‘Barbie’ Comics Series
by Brendan M. Allen
At New York Comic Con 2026, Dark Horse and Mattel announced the return of Barbie to comics. The ongoing Barbie comic series begins with a multi-issue arc Barbie: Together in Time. Each issue explores a different time period and features historical Barbie dolls.
When Barbie and Ken surprise Barbie at her science internship, they’re not expecting the brush-off they receive. Hurt, Ken wanders into a supercollider test run — and disappears! With the help of their mentor Dr. von Science, Barbie and Barbie must follow Ken’s time energy to different places and eras to collect it and restore their friend to the present. But accessing the time energy won’t be simple!
Written by Ben Kahn, this all-new adventure features art by Natalie Nardozza, colors by Heather Breckel, and letters by Frank Cvetkovic. The first issue features main cover art by Bowen McCurdy, variant covers by Laia Lopez, Gretel Lusky, Paulina Ganucheau, and a blank variant.
Barbie: Together in Time #1 arrives in comic shops on February 10th, 2027 for $4.99.
