James Patterson, author of numerous bestsellers, has signed a deal with IDW Publishing to create comics and graphic novels. The pact includes comic adaptations of his books, brand new material, and spin-offs from his existing works. The first IDW Patterson-based release will be a five-part comic book series based on the author’s bestselling YA novel, Witch and Wizard. Witch and Wizard: Shadowland, which will be written by Dara Naraghi with Patterson handling the plotting, will debut in May with art by Victor Santos and a painted cover by J.K. Woodward. In June IDW will follow up by launching a 4-part adaptation of Patterson’s “non-fiction thriller” The Murder of King Tut with Alexander Irvine handling the adaptation. Christopher Mitten will provide the art for the sequences set in Ancient Egypt, while Ron Randall will depict the 1920's expedition by the archeologist Howard Carter who discovered the tomb. Darwyn Cooke will create the covers for the series.
