Impossible Pictures animation subsidiary Firestep have announced plans to develop full motion comics in collaboration with Rebellion, Europe’s No.1 independent games developer.
Rebellion are rights holders of 2000AD, Britain’s multi-award winning sci-fi comic that has been at the cutting edge of contemporary pop culture since it’s first publication in 1977.
Firestep’s Steve Maher says “We have an enviable creative challenge ahead of us in translating the extraordinarily diverse visual and narrative worlds of the 2000AD originals into animation. Beyond that we also want to structure the series in a way that mirrors the comic book- several short fully animated TV episodes of ongoing adventures, each starring a different 2000AD hero, each contained within a single show – a full motion comic.”

I just received an email from someone wishing to remain anonymous because they have in their possession something that could potentially be worth rather a lot of money. Namely, Scream! number 16!
Yes, you read that correctly. I don’t know the exact details, but apparently a dummy issue of number 16 was produced before the decision was made to merge it with Eagle. I’ve been provided with a couple of scans which I’ve included below. The front cover (which depicts a scene from the final part of the “Doctor Death” Tales From The Grave story), and what appears to be a preview panel for Terror of the Cats 2, which would have begun in issue 17.
Cool or what?!? Hopefully more scans and information will be provided soon. Watch this space!
