Ray
Harryhausen Presents Comic Line Starts in May 2007
Beginning in May 2007, BlueWater Productions will begin publication of its Ray Harryhausen Presents line (see Penny Blood, Issue 6 for more information), in conjunction with the special effects legend.
In addition to Harryhausen, BlueWater will be working with Randy Green (Witchblade), Billy Tucci (Heroes for Hire), Tone Rodriguez (Conan), Randy Queen (Darkchylde), Nadir Balan (VSS), Ryan Scott Ottney (Legend of Isis), David McIntee (Dr Who), William O'Neill (Voilent Massiahs), Paul Storrie (Justice League Adventures), and Matt Wieman (Mainstay Studios) on the project.
Each Ray Harryhausen Presents comic will feature five pages of original artwork from Harryhausen's collection, thanks to a partnership with Every Picture Tells a Story, the Santa Monica-based gallery that sells Harryhausen’s works.
“Ray Harryhausen is one of the reasons I create comics,” said BlueWater Productions president and managing editor, Darren G. Davis. “Clash of the Titans made a priceless impression on my career, and I'm honored to work with Ray. He inspired and motivated me. These books are a chance to do a real collaborative effort with Ray, and not just another licensing gimmick."
“As an artist, I've always enjoyed exploring new and interesting areas," said Harryhausen. "Although many of my feature films, beginning with The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, were adapted into the comic book format, I have never been directly involved with that particular art form -- until now. I am very happy to be working with BlueWater Productions, who have already done wonderful work with their 10th Muse and Isis comic books, and look forward to seeing these characters in new and exciting adventures."
The Ray Harryhausen Presents series of books will include such titles as Wrath of the Titans, 20 Million Miles More, Sinbad Rouge of Mars, Jason and the Argonauts: Kingdom of Hades, Back to Mysterious Island, The Elementals and Harryhausen’s all-new rendition of a classic BlueWater heroine, The 10th Muse.
