\"deadspace.jpg\"<\/a>[ENGLISH] Chertsey, UK \u2013 February 21, 2008 \u2013 Electronic Arts and Image Comics today announced a new comic book series based upon the upcoming original survival horror video game; Dead Space\u2122. This new six-book series set in the Dead Space universe will be written and illustrated by Ben Templesmith and written by Antony Johnston. The Dead Space comic is the prequel story for the game.\u00a0This series tells the gut-wrenching tale of a deep space mining colony that unexpectedly pulls an ancient and vicious alien life force from the dark rock.<\/p>\n

The first issue will be on comic store shelves from March 3rd (\u00a3TBC) each. However, a limited edition version of issue #1 with exclusive cover art will be available at this week\u2019s WonderCon in San Francisco. In addition, Ben Templesmith and Antony Johnston will be signing the first issue of the Dead Space comic at the convention on February 22nd & 23rd at the Electronic Arts\/Image Comics booth where the first 25 people each day will receive a free copy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world of Dead Space has such a deep storyline that it\u2019s easily adaptable to other mediums,\u201d said Executive Producer of Dead Space, Glen Schofield. \u201cWe love the fact our story is being told across multiple forms of media, providing different experiences to different audiences, which all lead to the same dark place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ben Templesmith is an Australian commercial artist best known for his work in the American comic book industry – most notably Fell with writer Warren Ellis, published by Image Comics, and 30 Days of Night with writer Steve Niles published by IDW Publishing. The 30 Days of Night novel provoked a bidding war between film studios for the movie rights when the story was pitched a second time with Templesmith’s artwork. Ben has been nominated for multiple Eisner Awards three years in a row for his comic work. He has also created book covers, movie posters, trading cards, and concept work for film.<\/p>\n

Antony Johnston was born and raised in the Birmingham, England area and is the author of thirteen graphic novels, including Stormbreaker and Point Blanc (adapted from Anthony Horowitz’ best-selling Alex Rider novels), The Long Haul, Julius and Three Days in Europe. He writes two ongoing serials, the sci-fi epic Wasteland and the children’s fantasy Texas Strangers. He has adapted many of Alan Moore’s prose stories to comics, written for the Texas Chainsaw Massacre comics license, and is the only other writer to have penned a story for Greg Rucka’s award-winning Queen & Country series. He also writes novels; his debut Frightening Curves won the 2002 American Independent Publishing Award for Best Horror. His second novel, Stealing Life, was published in 2007.<\/p>\n

Under development at EA Redwood Shores, Dead Space ships Fall 2008 for the PLAYSTATION\u00ae3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360\u2122 videogame and entertainment system and the PC. This product is not yet rated by PEGI or ESRB. More information about Dead Space is available at www.deadspacegame.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
