“Marvel Comics has always been a place where I felt at
home. It has been a very important part of my life, and has always been a
wellspring of creative and relevant ideas,” says Jeff Lindsay. “I feel like I'm
coming home. It is a huge thrill for me to bring Dexter into this very special
pantheon."
The character of Dexter Morgan debuted in 2004’s Dily’s
Award-winning "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" and has since appeared in five
subsequent novels, with the seventh novel, "Dexter’s Debut,"
scheduled for release in 2013. Marvel Comics' DEXTER #1 marks the first time a
story in the novels’ continuity has been presented in the comic book format.
“Dexter is a perfect fit for comics, bringing an exciting
cast of layered characters together with gripping, visually arresting stories ”
said Ruwan Jayatilleke, Associate Publisher & SVP, Marvel Entertainment.
“It’s an honor for Marvel to work with a lauded author such as Jeff Lindsay,
whose ability to both horrify and move an audience is unparalleled. Fans of
Dexter will be thrilled by this new story that fits seamlessly into the world
they already know.”
This February, join Dexter and his Dark Passenger in an
all-new story from creator Jeff Lindsay in DEXTER #1 (of 5), available in comic
