William Shatner on His Comic Books Line, Says TekWar May Return as a TV Series

Features

MTV posted a new interview with Star Trek star William Shatner regarding his new line of comic books from Bluewater Productions and here are few excerpts from the article.

Along with "TekWar Chronicles," the "William Shatner Presents" line will also include the upcoming comic book series "Chimera," "Man O' War" and "Quest for Tomorrow."

According to Shatner, he's taking a hands-on approach with Bluewater Productions' new "TekWar" comic, and learning quite a bit about the ins and outs of the medium along the way.


"I'm right there from the very beginning, from the concept of how the story will be told to okaying the drawings and the color," Shatner told MTV News. "I'm getting a good education on the exigencies of drawing a comic book - but at the same time, storytelling is storytelling."


He's not ruling out another trip to the small screen for the franchise, either. "I've received an inquiry from England about the television rights to ‘TekWar,'" said Shatner. "It's a good story, and a good basis for more stories."

The full interview is here.

Sorry, I cannot go buy these comic books... | Report this post to moderator

Bill - here is the problem. If I go to the bookstore or comic bookshop, it's like, ‘there is the guy who thinks he is Captain Kirk' or something like that. Or he just likes wearing that gold shirt he bought at a STAR TREK convention in '79 and hasn't washed it since. Some ridicule is going to happen. So I have sort of avoided that. I hope you understand. :-P
