Happy! is in a genre I’ve never really tackled before – but with a bizarre twist, of course.īeyond that, there are big plans to do more books at Image and I have several ideas lined up – but I have to wait until the ink dries on the contracts before I’m allowed to say another word! GM: So far, I’m only able to tell you that the first one is set around Christmas, it’s called Happy! and it’s drawn by Darick Robertson an artist I’ve had plans to work with for a long time. IF: Can you tell us about any of the projects you’ll be doing at Image and what can fans expect? They seem to be having a lot of fun and I’m very excited to join the party. We got on well over dinner in Los Angeles and agreed on a few projects we’d like to do together. GM: Joe Casey introduced me to Eric Stephenson and Robert Kirkman, both of whom were overflowing with enthusiasm and creativity.
IF: How did you get connected with Image? I liked the idea of doing different types of books with different publishers, hence things like Dinosaurs versus Aliens with Liquid/Dynamite, and the rawer, more…unrestrained work I’m doing with Image. Grant Morrison: Well, I’m still writing Batman and Superman stories at DC for the foreseeable future and also doing new creator owned stuff for Vertigo – the final volume of Seaguy and at least one other series too be announced – but over the last couple of years I’ve been developing a range of new titles and characters, not all of which would necessarily suit Vertigo. IFanboy: After years of working with DC Comics and Vertigo, why the move to work with Image Comics?
No other information was provided at the con, but we were able to chat with Grant Morrison briefly about the move to Image Comics and what we can expect from Happy! Stephenson announced that Grant Morrison would be teaming up with artist Darick Robertson ( The Boys, Transmetropolitan) to bring the comic Happy! to Image Comics. The climax of his speech was the announcement that Image Comics would be working with acclaimed writer Grant Morrison.
Today at the Image Expo in Oakland, California, Image Comics publisher Eric Stephenson kicked off the independent focused comic convention with several new announcements of projects at Image Comics.
