Well, the revised contract is on my agent's desk, so I guess it's safe to tell you that IDW will be publishing a five-issue series of The Keep, scripted by yours truly and illustrated by the Forum's own Matthew D. Smith.
The first script is due this March with an eye toward starting publication this summer. The five issues will then be combined into a graphic novel.
I'm reeeeally looking forward to this. At last we'll see what the movie coulda / shoulda been.

Please, just keep us updated with the specifics. I don't want to miss out on any of the issues.

Congratulations to FPW and Matt, and hooray for the rest of us who will get to see it.
Now here is my dumb question. I haven't bought comic books since I was a kid. Where would one purchase this?
Or can we get some sort of special edition that may even be signed by the author and illustrator? Do you even do that with comic books?

Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

You should be able to find a local comics dealer in your yellow pages and if they don't carry it, they will undoubtedly be able to tell you how or where to do so. I don't know, FPW is notoriously stingy with his signature.
