DC / Vertigo To Publish Two Different Tie-Ins To Mad Max: Fury Road

Published Thu, 12 Feb 2015 16:30:28 -0600

DC / Vertigo is going to collaborate with George Miller, the director, producer and co-writer for the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road on two projects tied to the film. The first is called Mad Max: Fury Road: Inspired Artist where 65 different artists will create pieces inspired by the world created in the film. The second is a four-part comic series that is basically a prelude to the opening scenes of the movie.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: INSPIRED ARTISTS will contain double-page spreads from 65 visionary artists bringing their own unique style to the world of Mad Max: Fury Road. Each of the artists' work will be inspired by Miller's post-apocalyptic wasteland. These spreads will range from spectacular action sequences to haunting character portraits. Artists participating include Lee Bermejo, Dave McKean, Cliff Chiang, Nicola Scott, Stephanie Hans, Tara McPherson, among others. This book is due to hit shelves on May 6, prior to the film's May 15th release.

In addition, George Miller, Nico Lathouris and Mark Sexton are writing four prelude stories that follow leading characters Nux, Immortan Joe, Furiosa, and Mad Max, whose story will be in two parts. This miniseries will release one issue a month, starting with MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: NUX & IMMORTAN JOE #1 releasing on May 20, followed by MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: FURIOSA #1 and MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: MAD MAX #1 & #2. Nico Lathouris served as a co-writer on the film while Mark Sexton served as storyboard and concept artist for Mad Max: Fury Road. Interior artists working on these projects include Riccardo Burchielli, Leandro Fernandez, Tristan Jones, and Mark Sexton, while covers will be illustrated by Tommy Lee Edwards.

No specific mention of Raffaele Ienco in the announcement, but there is still a chance.
