The comics, which are geared for young readers, will be in full color and size and available in stores this fall. The digital comic will be available in Apple’s App Store and compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

"We are excited about our new relationship with Sesame Workshop to bring the Sesame Street characters to comics, which is a dream come true for all of us here at Ape,” says Brent E. Erwin, chief operating officer, Ape Entertainment. “Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Grover and the whole ‘Sesame Street’ gang have always been a part of our lives, now we feel like a part of their family, and that’s a great feeling."

 “We look forward to collaborating with Ape Entertainment to create a series of ‘Sesame Street’ comic books, for all ages,” says Jennifer A. Perry, vice president, worldwide publishing, Sesame Workshop.
