Disney's The Lion King: Six New Adventures — Hardcover Lot Vol. 1–4 of 6 | Kopa's First Appearance | Grolier (1994)

This lot includes Books 1 through 4 of the 6-volume set: A Snake in the Grass, Nala's Dare, Vulture Shock, and A Tale of Two Brothers. Volumes 5 and 6 are not included — priced accordingly.

Why Collectors Love It

The Six New Adventures series holds a genuinely unique place in Disney history. Published in 1994 as a limited-run Grolier collection, it introduced Kopa — Simba and Nala's son — a character who never appeared in any Disney film, TV series, or subsequent publication. That makes this series the only place Kopa exists in official Disney canon, and serious Lion King collectors know exactly what that means. The books also feature original backstories for Mufasa and Scar, unique illustrations created specifically for this series, and a level of world-building that goes well beyond the film. Finding even a partial run in hardcover is a win — these don't show up often.
