Publication history[]

Strange Academy began after Marvel writer and illustrator Skottie Young pitched the idea to fellow Marvel artist Humberto Ramos, who was intrigued by it. Young wanted to tell a "classic coming of age [story]... seen in so many other properties". Having just visited New Orleans, Young found the city the ideal setting for the folklore and magic of the series.[3]
