Bluewater Productions has announced it is teaming with B-movie director Roger Corman to bring some of Corman’s works to comic book form under the title Roger Corman Presents. Expect to see Death Stalker, The Barbarian Queen, Humanoids From The Deep, and Black Scorpion.
“Roger Corman’s body of work is so visual and visceral,” said Bluewater’s president Darren G. Davis. “What will make these titles stand out is that Mr. Corman will be personally involved in their development,” Davis said. This is not just another licensing gimmick, but an outlet to rediscover his creative genius and a chance for readers to once again be pleasantly frightened. I still get the willies from the ‘Masque of the Red Death’.”
The Roger Corman Presents titles will also include interviews, behind the scenes pictures from the original movie set, and more.
I’ve read a few of Bluewater’s Ray Harryhausen Presents stories, and they are pretty good, paying proper respect to his stories, so I have no doubt Corman’s line will receive the same treatment.
