LEGENDARY PICTURES LAUNCHES LEGENDARY COMICS

Comments
November 3, 2010

By SuperHeroHype

Legendary Pictures (Clash of the Titans, The Dark Knight, 300, The Hangover,
etc.) announced today that the studio is launching Legendary Comics and has
named veteran comic book editor Bob Schreck as editor-in-chief:

Legendary Pictures has appointed veteran comic book editor Bob Schreck to the
role of Editor-in-Chief of the newly-formed Legendary Comics, it was announced
by Thomas Tull, Legendary’s Chairman and CEO. Schreck joins Legendary Comics
from IDW Publishing, and his appointment marks the launch of the new division
dedicated to publishing original graphic novels.





Headed by Schreck, Legendary Comics plans to publish four to six graphic novels
a year for both digital and traditional print distribution. The books will
target Legendary’s well-established and powerful fandom demographic. Schreck
begins at Legendary Comics the first week of November, and plans to release the
inaugural project within the first half of 2011. He will be working closely with
Kathy Vrabeck, President of Legendary Digital, and they will, as warranted, look
to bring the newly-created comic-based IP produced by the venture to other
entertainment platforms such as film and television.



“Bob is an iconic editor and one of most highly-regarded curators and editors of
comic culture in our industry. He is the perfect leader with the right balance
of passion and editorial skills to spearhead Legendary Comics,” said Tull.
“Legendary Comics is committed to being a new home for groundbreaking artists
and the characters and stories they create, in an art form we love.”



“Thomas and the Legendary team have a proven track record of cultivating talent
and delivering unparalleled entertainment experiences, and I am looking forward
to building Legendary Comics into a world-class label for the best writers and
artists we know,” said Schreck.  “We have a real opportunity to deliver
hard-hitting characters and exciting, innovative storylines to comic book
aficionados.  We are in the fortunate position of already having major support
from the community and collaborations lined up with world-class creators.”



Iconic comic creators Neil Gaiman, Max Brooks and Frank Miller are among those
who are supportive of Legendary Comics.





Frank Miller stated, “Bob Schreck is a joy to work with. He’s tough but affable,
mindful of the publisher’s needs but a happy warrior on the side of the artist.
We’ve worked together to mutual satisfaction for years. Legendary has proven its
‘fides all over the movie industry and I expect no less from its publishing arm.
With Bob, they’ve made the perfect choice: the man’s a talent magnet."



"To be attached to a creative engine of this magnitude is as thrilling as it is
humbling," said Max Brooks.



Neil Gaiman added, "I’m thrilled that Legendary is going to be entering the
world of comics. I’ve been amazed and delighted by their respect for creators in
the movie arena, and it can only be good news for the whole world of pop culture
that they are going to be encouraging creators to tell unique, smart stories
while creating amazing comics for them."



Schreck comes to Legendary from IDW Publishing where he most recently served as
Senior Editor. Prior to IDW Schreck spent nearly a decade working for DC comics
where he started in 1990 after founding the famed Oni Press. He also worked at
Dark Horse Comics, and is the recipient of numerous industry awards and
acknowledgements.
