Update 2010 Update - NEVERMORE!
I just got clearance to discuss one of the projects I was hinting at, so I wanted to let you guys know. As some of you may have noticed, I was a huge fan of the one-man play called NEVERMORE, an Evening with Edgar Allan Poe that ran here in LA at the Steve Allen Theater.
The second time I went, I brought Bernie Wrightson and he was as blown away as me. Stuart Gordon (the director) and Jeffrey Combs (plays Poe) knew Bernie and came over and talked so I asked about doing a graphic adaptation of the play.
I met with Stuart and Jeff and Bernie the following week (major nerd-out moment for me) and talked about what I wanted to do.
Cutting to the chase, they said yes. Not only that but Bernie Wrightson will be fully illustrating one of Poe's most famous poems. Other artists are lining up and I'll announce them as we make things official.
We are talking to a couple publishers right now, so where this will land is up in the air for the moment.
I'll be adapting the Dennis Paoli's amazing script to comics.
More news to follow!
Thanks!

Wow, this sounds awesome. Both the project and that play. Combs was awesome as Poe in "The Black Cat" short from Masters of Horror.
