Fog Prequel From Dark Horse
Dark Horse Comics has announced that to coincide with the remake of The Fog (a John Carpenter Horror film that I’ve always had a soft spot for), they will be releasing an original graphic novel expanding on the film’s story.
The remake of The Fog from Revolution Studios will feature Tom Welling, Maggie Grace and Selma Blair, it is due for release October 14th 2005. The new graphic novel will be written by Scott Allie with input from director Rupert Wainwright and John Carpenter and tells the backstory of the film.
The Fog will feature interior art by Todd Herman and special cover art by Mike Mignola. The Fog graphic novel will go on sale October 5th for $6.95
To me this seems like a better using of movie licensing than the traditional comic book adaptation of a film. There’s really very little appeal to me in re-telling the movie in comicbook form, all it does is remind you that the characters don’t look quite right. On the other hand, taking the basic “world” the film is set in and expanding on things referenced in the film sounds much more interesting.
