Del Rey Books will publish PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL, based on the New York Times bestselling book by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith. One of the biggest pop culture sensations of this year, the critically acclaimed Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, originally published by Quirk Books, takes Jane Austen’s classic novel and brings it to gory, new life with zombie mayhem.
Del Rey editor Tricia Narwani says, “Not only is it exciting for Del Rey to be a part of this year’s most remarkable publishing phenomenon, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL is just flat-out one of the coolest books on our list ever.”
The graphic novel will be adapted by Tony Lee, a writer for over twenty years in television, radio and magazines. For the last six years Tony has worked extensively in comics, writing for such licenses as X-Men, Spider Man, Starship Troopers, Wallace & Gromit, Shrek and Doctor Who. His critically acclaimed graphic novel Outlaw: The Legend Of Robin Hood has been announced as a Junior Library Guild Selection for 2009.
Cliff Richards, a veteran artist best known for his five-year run on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer comics series, will illustrate the graphic novel. He has also worked on several projects for other comics publishers, including Birds of Prey, the Huntress: Year One mini-series, and Wonder Woman for DC Comics, and Rogue and New Thunderbolts for Marvel Comics.
PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES: THE GRAPHIC NOVEL will be published in January 2010.

PENNY ARCADE’S MIKE KRAHULIK AS VARIANT COVER ARTIST ON ISSUE 1 OF STEPHEN KING AND PETER STRAUB’S THE TALISMAN
Del Rey, an imprint of Ballantine Books at the Random House Publishing Group, announced today Mike Krahulik, artist and half of the creative duo behind the hit gaming and geek culture-based webcomic Penny Arcade (www.penny-arcade.com) as the variant cover artist for Issue 1 of Stephen King and Peter Straub’s The Talisman, on sale in November.
Penny Arcade is the online phenomenon which debuted in 1998 whose global readership generate over 50 million pageviews a month. Mike Krahulik is also known as Gabe, his online persona in the Penny Arcade comics. Krahulik has lent his distinctive art style to promotional comics for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six, Prince of Persia, Fallout 3, and other video games, as well as advertisements for the Entertainment Software Association.
The epic saga of The Talisman debuts with Issue 0, a never-before-told prequel to the story, to be published by Del Rey Comics in October. The Talisman novel, originally published in 1984, is the story of a teen boy named Jack Sawyer, who can save his dying mother only by retrieving a magical talisman. To find it he must cross back and forth between our world and the frightening and dangerous landscape of its “twinner” counterpart. Issue 0 explores the separate lives of Jack’s father—in our world, and in the mysterious realm known as the Territories—and how evil scheming will forever change Jack’s peaceful life.
The series is being adapted by Robin Furth and illustrated by Tony Shasteen, with regular cover art by Massimo Carnevale and coloring by Nei Ruffino. The Talisman Issue 0 will be available in comic book stores everywhere on October 21, 2009, and The Talisman Issue 1 will hit comics stands on November 18, 2009.
Both The Talisman and its sequel, Black House, are in print with Ballantine Books. Television rights to The Talisman are under development by Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy.
