SCOOP: The Simon Pegg Graphic Novel

There's a fictional story that runs through Simon Pegg's recently released autobiography Nerd Do Well. Publisher Cornerstone thought it would be a wizard idea to take that story and turn it into, well, this;

SCOOP: The Simon Pegg Graphic Novel

That's The Adventures of Simon Pegg and Canterbury and the Mystery of the Scarlet Panther and the Star of Nefertiti and the Tablet of Amonhotep IV. Here, have a synopsis;

Behold, Simon Pegg as you've never seen him before! Marvel as his superhero alter-ego traverses the continents in his customized Pegg Jet. His mission: to prevent the destruction of all life on earth.

A hilarious and brilliantly crafted graphic novel featuring the escapades of Simon Pegg, a ruggedly handsome superhero (with a body a bit like Brad Pitt's from Fight Club and an almost constant thirst for Coke Zero) and his ever-faithful robotic manservant, Canterbury, as they fight to stop the world from exploding. Will they get to Hendon in time to stop evil criminal Lord Black from carrying out his plan to fire his ancient Egyptian laser beam into the sun? Will Simon finally capture the heart of flame-haired Frenchy The Scarlet Panther? And, perhaps most importantly, will Canterbury manage to provide appropriate refreshments for all visiting guests/informants? There's only one way to find out …

It will be made available as a digital comic later this month…
