Batman TV star Adam West in new comic book adventure series
ADAM WEST has returned to the comic book world from which his iconic portrayal of Batman burst on to the screen in the 1960s TV series and spin-off movie.
Bluewater Productions today announced they have partnered with the actor for a series called The Mis-Adventures of Adam West, due out in spring 2011.
Bluewater describes the new comedy action series as "a hip-whimsical, trans-dimensional epic of an adventure" in which West encounters real and fictional characters from his life.
The comic sees a mysterious fan deliver an exotic amulet to West's doorstep, which sends him whirling away on a dimension-hopping odyssey that will change his career, his love life and inadvertently make him the man that saves the universe.
West said: "I am really impressed with Bluewater's creative team and vision. They have morphed me and it didn't even hurt.
"Bluewater has taken me full circle from playing a famous comic book character to being one - it's fascinating. I'm in my own comic book and I love what goes on there.
"Wait till you get a load of the wild and unique situations they've put me in and how they mix it with reality. What a jolt it is to see some of my fantasies come to life right in front of us."
The book will be co-written by Adam West, Walter Fernandez Jr. & Arastao Maree and drawn by Lipe. The covers were done by Matt Bellisle.
Bluewater publisher Darren G Davis said: "Adam West is an worldwide icon and we are honoured to be working one-on-one with him on these book. We are not only creating this as a comic book but as a brand.
"We have interest already in the television world as well as an action figure coming out from Go Hero and Zica Toys."
