Fantastic news on the Warrior of the Worlds project

Today, Scout Comics released this announcement:

January 24th, 2024 -- Scout Comics & Entertainment has partnered with screenwriter R. Christopher Murphy to develop ORSON WELLES: WARRIOR OF THE WORLDS as a television series. The comic was written and created by Milton Lawson and features art by Erik Whalen. Scout is attached to produce along with the Welles Estate.

 
Murphy co-wrote the hit horror film READY OR NOT, and wrote episodes for the Stephen King-inspired series CASTLE ROCK as well as STAN AGAINST EVIL.

I’m thrilled that R. Christopher Murphy is partnering up with us to develop Orson Welles: Warrior of the Worlds as a television series. Murphy is an incredibly talented screenwriter and even though this process is in its early days, I can already tell Murphy is the right guy for the job - he really gets what we’re trying to do with this story.

Stay tuned — book release date & other info coming soon!
