Award-winning publisher BOOM! Studios and DeVito Artworks
LLC are excited to announce Kong of Skull Island, an original, limited comic
book series debuting in July featuring the famous gargantuan ape, King Kong,
created by Merian C. Cooper, and grounded in artist/author Joe DeVito’s
ground-breaking literary property Skull Island. Kong of Skull Island is
exclusively authorized and endorsed by the Cooper family as their official King
Kong/Skull Island prequel and sequel origin story. BOOM!’s comic series will be
written by James Asmus (All-New Inhumans) and illustrated by Carlos Magno
(Planet of the Apes).
“King Kong is the progenitor of an entire section of genre
fiction. It is truly an honor to be a part of that gigantic legacy,” said BOOM!
Studios President of Publishing & Marketing Filip Sablik. “We’re thrilled
to be working with Joe DeVito to create a comic series that is authentic to the
origins of Kong.”
BOOM!’s Kong of Skull Island comic series takes place well
before Carl Denham, Jack Driscoll, and the rest of the Wanderer’s crew set foot
on the island. Two fractured and combative civilizations are forced to band
together as they venture onto Skull Island, their new home, which they are soon
horrified to realize is home to dinosaurs, giant creatures...and Kongs.
“It is exhilarating to be working with BOOM! Studios and
such an astute and nuanced group of writers and artists. This fabulous Kong of
Skull Island series digs deep!” said Joe DeVito.
Kong of Skull Island #1 (of 6) arrives in comic shops on
July 13th with a main cover by Felipe Massafera (Green Lantern: War of the
Green Lanterns) for the price of $3.99. Also available are incentive covers by
Nick Robles (Clockwork Angels) and Eric Powell (The Goon), and retailer auction
covers by Ryan Sook (Superman: American Alien) and Paul Pope (Batman: Year
100).
