IDW Brings Brubaker & Phillips On-Board

"Black Sails" brings creator-owned title from the team to IDW

IDW Publishing is very proud to announce that they are working with Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips to publish their creator-owned miniseries, Black Sails.

Black Sails mixes high adventure and horror in a vampire tale like no other. Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips, the creative team behind the hit comic Sleeper, cast a three-issue tale of mysterious vampire pirates with an intriguing hook: these men are manning the very ship on which Dracula himself once sailed.

In Black Sails, Depression-era coastal towns are terrorized by a mysterious ship that sails only by night, drifting in with the fog, and leaving bloody waters in its wake. Brubaker�s moody and horrific story follows a darker path than readers are accustomed to seeing from him, and Phillips�s textured artwork is again the perfect complement to his prose. The series should hit your port in Spring of 2005.

�Working with Sean has been one of the most fulfilling parts of my career, and now to be continuing that partnership on work we own, at a company that I feel puts out some of the most beautiful packages on the shelves, is just perfect,� said Brubaker. �Black Sails is an idea that just hit me out of the blue, and seemed like the perfect way to start a relationship at IDW, bringing what we do to a genre they�ve done very well with, and giving it a twist that I�ve never seen done before. Of course, I immediately sent my idea to Sean, and by way of his acceptance, got back a color rough of his first cover idea.�

Chris Ryall, Editor-in-Chief of IDW Publishing, added that �Ed and Sean are among the best creative teams in comics today, and I couldn�t be happier that they�re bringing a book like Black Sails to IDW. People are really in for a surprise here�this is unlike anything they�ve done before.�
