NBC’s Heroes Scores DC Comics Deal

NEW YORK, July 27: Comic book giant DC Comics announced at
Comic-Con that it has inked a deal with Universal Studios Consumer Products
Group to publish a hardcover collection of graphic novels based on NBC's Emmy-
and Golden Globe-nominated Heroes from
executive producer/creator Tim Kring.

The stories, which mark the first printed graphic novel
adaptation of the show, were originally created for the Heroes website, where they continue to be available. The
collection will also feature the artwork of legendary comic book artist Tim
Sale (Batman: The Long Halloween),
whose work was featured throughout the first season of the show through the
visuals created by a drug-addled painter with visions of the future. The book
is slated to reach stores this fall and will be published under DC's WildStorm
imprint.

Kring noted: “Until now, most of these stories have only
been available on NBC.com. To have this first printing coming from DC, the
premier publisher of comic books, is a dream come true.”
