Idea  & Design Works will publish comics based on Konami's Silent Hill video games.  Silent Hill:  Dying Inside #1, cover priced at $3.99, is a 32-page color comic, shipping in February.  Silent Hill, the bestselling horror videogame series with sales over four million units worldwide, is IDW's first video game license. 

 

The series writer, with more than 60 novels to his credit as well as comics, is New York Times bestselling author Scott Ciencin.  The first two issues will feature art by Ben (30 Days of Night and Dark Days) Templesmith.

 

 In the other direction, last year IDW licensed CVO: Covert Vampiric Operations to Konami to be developed into a video game (see 'IDW's Covert Vampiric Operations Returns').
