Actor Hugh Jackman is teaming up with writer Marc Guggenheim to create Nowhere Man, an original comic book series for Virgin Comics' Virgin Voices line.  Jackman, who portrayed Wolverine in a trilogy of X-Men films before embarking on the current X-Men Origins: Wolverine project that is destined for theaters in May of 2009, reports having "so much fun in the graphic novel world with the X-Men franchise that I wanted to get more involved."

Marc Guggenheim is a veteran TV writer (The Practice, Law & Order, CSI Miami), with plenty of experience in writing comics including Aquaman and the Flash for DC as well as Wolverine, The Punisher, and the Amazing Spider-Man (see "Amazing Spider-Man Creators Named") for Marvel.

Virgin Comics has not yet announced a publication date for the Nowhere Man comic book series, which it describes as a science fiction saga set in a future where mankind has traded privacy for safety.  Clearly the plan for Nowhere Man involves a quick transfer from comics to the big screen, something Virgin Comics is getting very close to accomplishing with Guy Ritchie's Virgin Voices title, The Gamekeeper, which is in development at Warner Bros. (see "Ritchie to Direct Gamekeeper").
