According to the latest DreamWatch magazine, veteran TREK guest star J.G. Hertzler (Martok in DS9), who wrote two TREK novels, is currently in talks with Paramount Pictures about a series of graphic novels based around the Klingon race.
"It's mainly about the Klingon experience," reveals Hertzler, "and the point of it is to tell tremendously good sci-fi stories that may or may be based on the STAR TREK world, but utilise in some ways the Klingon Empire. STAR TREK would be somewhere in the back-story."
In a departure from the usual, family -orientated, Hertzler's graphic novels will be distincly edgier "Two things that Klingons are is sexy and violent, but they're never really portrayed that way in comics or graphic novels. I'd really like to create something that is somewhat
disturbing in terms of visuals."
To that end, Hertzler is looking to involve fan-favorite comic book artist David Mack (DAREDEVIL). "He's got an Asian style, and is incredibly sensual
and violent," notes Hertzler. "If he's the artist, then it's got a great chance
because he's brilliant."
According to the magazine, Hertzler and Paramount are currently at the number-crunching stage, and the actor reports that there is a good chance the project will get the go-ahead soon. "Paramount is interested, it's just a matter of fiding a publisher that is going to make a deal that is worth it."
If a deal is signed soon, Hertzler hopes that his new TREK graphic novel series will be published towards the end of the next year.
