\"Dale[ENGLISH] Top Cow tells us:<\/strong> LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 1st, 2009 \u2013 Top Cow Productions, Inc. proudly announced today that Dale Keown\u2019s classic hero, Pitt, will make his return to comics in the long awaited crossover event The Darkness\/Pitt.\u00a0 The three-issue mini-series reunites Pitt creator and artist Dale Keown (Hulk: The End) with writer Paul Jenkins (Captain America, Mythos), who worked together on the second volume of The Darkness.\u00a0 The first issue of The Darkness\/Pitt is scheduled for release in August 2009.<\/p>\n

\"Dale<\/p>\n

First published by Image Comics in 1993, Pitt is a human-alien hybrid genetically engineered to serve as a killing machine for an alien race known as the Creed.\u00a0 Dale Keown continued self-publishing Pitt under his own company, Full Bleed Studios, in 1995.\u00a0 After publishing twenty issues, Keown put Pitt on hold to work for other companies, drawing The Darkness with writer Paul Jenkins for Top Cow Productions and The Hulk for Marvel Entertainment.\u00a0 Since the regular series ended in 1998, fans of the character have had to make do with limited appearances by Pitt as a guest star in other books.
\nThe story behind The Darkness\/Pitt follows Pitt and his human half-brother Tim on their mission to New York to track down those infected by an alien virus.\u00a0 But mob boss and current bearer of the mystical power of The Darkness, Jackie Estacado, doesn\u2019t permit anything to go down in his neighborhood unless he knows about it.\u00a0 When the two forces attract the unwanted attention of the Federal Government, mayhem ensues!<\/p>\n

\u201dDarkness\/Pitt has been a labor of love but it has been well worth it. As always, I\u2019m excited to work with Dale on Jackie Estacado, a character we\u2019re so familiar with, and I\u2019m gratified he\u2019s allowed me the opportunity to work with characters so near and dear to his heart in Pitt and Tim,\u201d commented writer Jenkins, \u201cThe book looks as beautiful as I always hoped it would, and I trust fans will forgive me for bringing a voice to some of Dale\u2019s most beloved creations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFans have waited patiently for Darkness\/Pitt and good things come to those that wait,\u201d added Filip Sablik, Top Cow Publisher, \u201cIt\u2019s great to see two great creators like Paul and Dale return to characters they know inside and out. These guys are packing this series with action, horror, humor, and jaw-dropping art from the top to bottom of every page.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first issue of The Darkness\/Pitt will offer two cover variants: one by series artist Keown and another by Stjepan Sejic (Witchblade).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
