After The CW passed on moving forward with Joe Hill’s reimagining of the 1980s horror anthology series, Tales From the Darkside, Idw Publishing announced that Hill’s ideas for the show would be collected in a comic book series, and now the company has announced that they will release Tales From The Darkside: Scripts by Joe Hill this fall.
Set to hit shelves in October, the Tales From The Darkside scriptbook will allow readers to see exactly what Hill had planned for the reboot of George A. Romero’s anthology series.
The collection will include three scripts written by Hill for the reboot. Each script will come with artwork from Charles Paul Wilson III, who previously worked with Hill on Wraith, the prequel graphic novel to N0S4A2.

Ray Bradbury is a name embedded in the great mythos of science fiction literature. His ability to work through the wide ranges of literature, from novels to short stories, would bring Bradbury to adapt some of his work into the realm of comic books. As explained in the introduction for Shadow Show, Bradbury was fascinated with the fantastic at a very young age, burrowing from his obsession with the newspaper Sunday comics like Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. The pulp writer began in magazines and would eventually make his way to adapting his own stories for EC Comics (through a very interesting exchange with Max Gaines). It only makes sense that Shadow Show will...

Calvin and Hobbes are two of the greatest characters ever created. I've enjoyed reading the comics for years. I still pull out the books every now and then and read through them for inspiration and encouragement. They do a great job of getting me pumped up to write! Anyway, here's an awesome piece of fan art by Charles Paul Wilson III that features these two awesome characters taking on a closet monster. He calls it "The Stuff of Legend," and it totally is!

In independent comics, particularly satirical and violent ones, it’s a given that your main character is going to be flawed. But what happens when “flawed” gives way to “douchebag”? When the principal protagonist is sparring with surrounding villains and acting just as villainous, where does the tension come from? And why do we care?
Well, when it goes too far, we really don’t, like in this week’s new Image release Revenge #1. It might be my fatigue of stories involving Hollywood has-beens, but for all his careful character construction, Jonathan Ross gives me no reason to root for aged actor Griffin Franks over the slimeballs surrounding him. Sure, he gets his face sliced off in the opening pages (surprise! except not), but when his past antics are revealed, I begin to feel like he deserves it. By the end, no amount of gratuitous female toplessness or scenes of...

Saw writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan have been hired to write the feature film adaptation of the comic book, The Stuff of Legend. They wrote seven of the eight Saw movies that were made. Pete Candeland will director the film, which is planned to blend both live action and CGI.
The comic was created by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith and illustrated by Charles Paul Wilson III. Here's the official description of the project, and it sounds like it will make for a great movie!
The year is 1944. An allied force advances along a war-torn beach in a strange land, outnumbered and far from home. Together, they fight the greatest evil they have ever known. Never ending waves of exotic enemies come crashing down on them, but they will not rest. Thousands of miles away, the world is on the brink of destruction. But here in a child's bedroom in Brooklyn,...

Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan have made a career out of messing with our heads and giving us one gore-soaked terror tale after another. Now they're looking to screw your kids up, too! Read on for details.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Melton and Dunstan, the writing team behind four of the seven Saw films, are moving into family-friendly territory as they have been tapped to adapt Disney's live-action family film The Stuff of Legend.
The project, which is based on a graphic novel written by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith and illustrated by Charles Paul Wilson III, revolves around a band of toys that journeys into a dark realm to rescue their owner from the infamous Boogeyman. Animator Peter Candeland (All Dogs Go to Heaven 2, "Aladdin") is attached to direct the film, which is being produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman through their Disney-based Mandeville Films.

Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan, the duo behind the “Feast” franchise, before parlaying that success into installments of the “Saw” franchise, then launching their own “The Collector” franchise, will now be putting all that dark, horror stuff behind them to work on Disney’s “The Stuff of Legend”. Well, sort of. The writing duo have just been tapped by Disney to do a draft on “The Stuff of Legend”, based on the comic book of the same name by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith (and drawn by Charles Paul Wilson III), about “a band of toys that journeys into a dark realm to rescue their owner from the infamous Boogeyman.” Shawn Christensen wrote the previous draft. My guess is, the studio finally got around to watching Christensen’s “Abduction”, and realized it’s probably a good idea to get someone else in there. Besides “Feast”, “Saw”, and “The Collector”, Melton...

The erstwhile gorehounds will adapt the graphic novel series The Stuff Of Legend, for a live-action adventure.Written by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith, with art by Charles Paul Wilson III, the comic comes off like a much darker Toy Story. Set during the Second World War, it involves a small boy snatched from his bedroom by The Boogeyman and taken to under-realm The Dark. The boy's toys then mount a daring rescue, with the transference to The Dark changing a teddy bear into a fierce grizzly, and so on. Their quest sees them facing down the Boogeyman's army, which is comprised of all the boy's embittered cast-aside old toys.So while pitching younger,...

Wraith: Welcome to Christmasland will be equal parts mystery and horror.

I told the story I wanted to tell, but I also feel there's a lot more to discover.

Here's an awesome series of variant cover art for Marvel Now! created by Charles Paul Wilson III. As you will see they all pay tribute to the legendary art work of Jack Kirby. I've included Kirby's original work for comparison.
Then there's this one. The original art wasn't from Kirby, but it's still a fun variant that I thought I'd throw into the mix as a bonus. The original cover art for this on was done by Rob Liefeld.

From a graphic novel adaptation and found footage-Amblin homage to another zombie apocalypse and a Chinese mythology inspired action adventure, here’s a round up of recent spec script sales in Hollywood.
Despite the recent financial failure of “John Carter” and the problems currently plaguing Gore Verbinksi’s “The Lone Ranger” adaptation, Disney is already looking towards future tentpoles. It’s being reported that the mouse house has made a deal for an adaptation of the graphic novel “Stuff Of Legend.” The source material, written by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith and illustrated by Charles Paul Wilson III, follows a young boy in 1944 who “is abducted by the Boogeyman, dragged by the ankles into the closet realm known as The Dark. The boy’s puppy rallies his toys to follow his master in a rescue mission. Once in the closet, each of those toys become menacingly large and agile creatures...

Coming across like a mash up of Toy Story and The Chronicles of Narnia, The Stuff Of Legend is a comic book mini series written by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith, with art by Charles Paul Wilson III. Set in 1944, it see's a young abducted by the Boogeyman and brought to a realm called The Dark, which resides in the boy's closet. A small group of the boy's toys, led by a toy soldier and a teddy bear, enter The Dark on a rescue mission, becoming real life version of themselves and coming into conflict with The Boogeyman's similarly changed army, comprised of toys stored in the closet. Pete Candeland, co-director on Gorillaz music videos such as 'Clint Eastwood' and '19-2000', has signed onto direct a script by Shawn Christensen (Abduction). The plan is to make a live-action film set in a CGI world, similar to Alice In Wonderland.

Deadline reports that Walt Disney Pictures has hired Pete Candeland (best known as a music video and television commercial director) to direct a film adaptation of the graphic novel The Stuff Of Legend, published by Th3rd World Studios. Written by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith and illustrated by Charles Paul Wilson III, the story sounds a bit like a mash up of Toy Story meets Chronicles Of Narnia. The film is planned to be a mixture of CGI and live action (ala Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland). Shawn Christensen (Abduction) is working on the script. Below is a plot summary of the story for The Stuff Of Legend: The year is 1944. An allied force advances along a war-torn beach in a strange land, outnumbered and far from home.

In making their second acquisition of the day, Bad Robot and Paramount have elected to snatch up Wunderkind, a hot-item spec written by Patrick Aison. While you’d be understood in thinking Bad Robot is a signal for aliens, space, Amblin, nostalgia, or all three, this goes with a different conceit: Nazis. [Variety]
I’ll concede that there’s something oddly Spielberg-ian about humanity’s least-liked political ideology, although I suspect this would fall more in line with Munich than Raiders of the Lost Ark. Wunderkind, a ’70s-set thriler, centers on “a young Nazi hunter with the CIA and an older Nazi hunter working for the Mossad” who find themselves “reluctantly intertwined” as they track down various followers across the planet.
Not that it’s a whole lot in the first place, but doesn’t it already sound like good stuff? If any concerns exist on my part — and I wouldn...

It’s a little hard to read the logline for Disney’s latest venture, a live-action/CGI adaptation of the comic book “The Stuff of Legend” without immediately thinking “Toy Story”. A darker, grittier, more violent version of “Toy Story”, anyway. But, you know, live action-ish. Based on the comic book of the same name by Mike Raicht and Brian Smith (with art by Charles Paul Wilson III), “The Stuff of Legend” has been snatched up by Disney as a directing gig for commercial director Pete Candeland. So what’s it all about? A young boy in 1944 is abducted by the Boogeyman, dragged by the ankles into the closet realm known as The Dark. The boy’s puppy rallies his toys to follow his master in a rescue mission. Once in the closet, each of those toys become menacingly large and agile creatures who engage in a war with the Boogeyman’s forces.
