\"\"<\/a>[<\/a>ENGLISH] Marvel tells us:<\/strong> New York, NY- July 25, 2008– Electric Ant, Philip K. Dick\u2019s seminal science fiction short story, will be adapted by Marvel Comics in the upcoming Electric Ant limited series to be released in 2009, it was announced by Marvel, and Electric Shepherd Productions. Dick\u2019s work, which has revolutionized the world of science fiction, has been adapted into hit films, such as Blade Runner, Total Recall and Minority Report, and Dick remains one of the genre\u2019s\u00a0most\u00a0resonant authors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be happier adapting such a powerful story by Philip K Dick,\u201d said Dan Buckley, Marvel Entertainment, Inc. President and Publisher.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The creative team behind this existential thriller includes acclaimed writer David Mack (Daredevil, Kabuki) and artist Pascal Alixe (Ultimate X-Men, 1602: Fantastik Four), joined by Consulting Editor Brian Michael Bendis (award-winning author behind Secret Invasion) and renowned artist Paul Pope, who will provide covers to the series.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cDavid Mack and Pascal Alixe remain faithful to the work of a man considered by many to be the greatest science fiction writer of all time, while also exploring all the nuances of Electric Ant\u2019s fascinating world,\u201d said Buckley.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the first original adaptation of our father\u2019s work into this genre, we are thrilled with the creative team and the support of Marvel in the care they have taken to be true to the integrity of this story,\u201d said Laura Leslie, Dick\u2019s daughter and a partner with her sister, Isa Dick Hackett, in Electric Shepherd Productions.<\/p>\n

One of the most celebrated authors of the last century, Philip K Dick is the winner of the Hugo Award and the John W. Campbell award, both of which honor excellence in science fiction. Inducted into the Library of America in 2007, Dick has received literary recognition unprecedented for a contemporary science fiction writer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cThis is another example of Marvel\u2019s commitment to expanding not only the breadth of our products, but in also drawing new readers to the comic medium,\u201d explained Marvel Senior Vice President of Sales & Circulation, David Gabriel. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to be working alongside the Philip K Dick Estate in bringing another best-selling author\u2019s work to Marvel for a whole new legion of readers to enjoy. Along with Dark Tower, Anita Blake and all our Best-Selling Authors titles, Electric Ant\u00a0 is another example of Marvel working to bring popular, mainstream properties to comics for a whole new audience to enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Electric Shepherd was founded by Leslie and Hackett, who along with their brother, Christopher Dick, own and manage the Philip K Dick Estate. Electric Shepherd is currently working on several other projects based on the works of Philip K. Dick, including the Disney\/Pixar animated feature based on King Of The Elves slated for release in 2012, and a Philip K. Dick biopic for HBO Films. Christopher Tricarico handles all business and legal affairs for Electric Shepherd and the Estate.<\/p>\n

With a library of over 5,000 high-profile characters built over more than sixty years of comic book publishing, Marvel Entertainment, Inc. is one of the world’s most prominent character-based entertainment companies.\u00a0 Marvel utilizes its character franchises in licensing, entertainment (via Marvel Studios), publishing (via Marvel Comics) and toys, with emphasis on feature films, DVD, consumer products, video games, action figures and role-playing toys, television and promotions.\u00a0 Marvel’s strategy is to leverage its franchises in a growing array of opportunities around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
