“I'm thrilled that IDW will be bringing its extraordinary
talents and craft to producing everything from beautiful omnibus volumes to
bold and cutting-edge new comic book titles based on T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents,”
said Michael Uslan, who initiated the project.
“With top quality, IDW will be presenting the works of comic book
super-stars, including T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents creator, Wally Wood (Daredevil,
MAD, EC horror and science fiction comics, All-Star Comics, Power Girl) along
with the legendary Steve Ditko (Spider-Man, Dr. Strange); Gil Kane (Green
Lantern, The Atom); Mike Sekowsky (Justice League); Reed Crandall (Blackhawk);
Dave Cockrum (X-Men); George Perez (Wonder Woman, New Teen Titans); Murphy
Anderson (Hawkman, The Spectre); Paul Gulacy (Master of Kung Fu); Jerry Ordway
(Shazam, Justice Society); Ron Lim (Warlock, Silver Surfer), Keith Giffen
(Legion of Super-Heroes, Lobo); Dan Adkins (Creepy, Dr. Strange), and many
others.”
“T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents always had a great premise in
addition to the list of esteemed creators who worked on the comics—people whose
day job was being government-employed superheroes,” said IDW’s Chief Creative
Officer/Editor-in-Chief Chris Ryall, “That premise offers a resonant
jumping-off point for some exciting new stories that will add to the great
comics already left behind by both Tower and DC’s recent run.”
“We are very excited that T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents has found
a new home at IDW,” said David M. Matthews, Managing Director of Radiant
Assets, owner of the property. “Their
history of high-quality publications coupled with top-notch creative teams
perfectly compliments our desire to expand not only the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agent
franchise, but Undersea Agent and Fight the Enemy, as well. We join them with great optimism about
bringing this storied team’s past, present and future to a whole new generation
of readers, who will join the longtime legion of fans already anxious for the
continuation of the team’s legendary exploits.”
