Bluewater Prods. has expanded the RAY HARRYHAUSEN PRESENTS comic line with nine new titles for 2008.
In conjunction with the 50th anniversary of some of the Harryhausen classic films, Sony DVD is releasing IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA and EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS. Bluewater will release comics inspired by these classics as well. The Sony DVDs will include previews of the comics as part of the special features.
"There are some cool stories that we are working with. THE ELEMENTALS was a story that was not made into a film and we wanted to bring that cool story to life," said Bluewater publisher Darren G. Davis. "Harryhausen's world [includes] classic stories that we feel we can bring to a new generation."
Bluewater will also be launching their first ongoing series based on WRATH OF THE TITANS. Davis says, "We wanted to test the waters before we jumped into ongoing series and 2008 is the time to start. We will also be looking at developing an ongoing JASON & THE ARGONAUTS series."
