Kelley Jones on Swamp Thing, Completing Wrightson’s Frankenstein

Posted on by

Bermie Wrightson is a legend.  If you’re reading this, you probably know that.  If not, Google Wrightson and then come back.

Wrightson is mostly remembered for his work in the horror genre, specifically Frankenstein. Wrightson’s final project was Frankenstein Alive, Alive! with writer Steve Niles.  When Wrightson realized he couldn’t finish the project, he asked artist Kelley Jones to finish it.

Jones’ interview with Alex Dueben at Comic Book Resources is one of the most moving, touching and emotional interviews I can ever remember:  Kelley Jones on Swamp Thing, Completing Wrightson’s Frankenstein

Frank Miller Has 6 Projects in the Works!

Posted on by

 

Frank Miller will provide the art and team with writer Thomas Wheeler for Cursed, a young adult novel that…

…tells the story of King Arthur from the point of view of Nimue, the 16-year-old girl who first wielded Excalibur and ultimately became the Lady of the Lake.

We can expect the release of Cursed in the fall of 2019.

It was also announced today that Frank Miller has signed a five-project deal with DC Comics.  The first two projects are:

  • Superman: Year One: Miller will write and John Romita Jr. will provide the art.

  • A graphic novel focusing on  Carrie Kelley, Robin from Miller’s classic Batman: The Dark Knight Returns.  Again, Miller will serve as writer and Ben Caldwell will take on the art chores.

  • Miller is also set to write three undisclosed projects to complete the five-project deal.

Boy, I sure wish a new Miller Sin City yarn was in the works.

Stephen Franck’s Silver Coming to Free Comic Book Day!

Posted on by

May 5, 2018 is Free Comic Book Day.  Dark Planet is making Stephen Franck’s Silver #1 available.  Franck summarizes Silver as…

… an original universe built around Bram Stoker’s original Dracula, and it begins 40 years after the events of the novel, into the noir/pulp era of the 1930s. You meet James Finnigan, who is the most notorious conman/gentleman-thief of his day, as he teams up with Rosalynd “Sledge” Van Helsing (granddaughter of the original Van Helsing, and altogether the last of the Van Helsings), to steal a mystical treasure hidden in Dracula’s castle. Finn, of course, brings his known associates—a fun assortment of conmen and grifters of all kinds—as well as the kind of amoral attitude that puts him immediately at odds with Sledge. Lastly, the team enlists Tao Leu (or more accurately, he enlists himself), who is a 10-year-old boy with the gift of second sight and who might be the biggest scoundrel of them all.
