Dynamite Entertainment will work with DeVito Artworks and Joe DeVito, author of the illustrated novel King Kong of Skull Island, to create both comics and games based on that property, Dynamite CEO Nick Barrucci has announced.
“King Kong has been a passion of mine since I first saw the 1933 classic back in 1960,” DeVito said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “DeVito ArtWorks has worked exclusively in concert with the Merian C. Cooper Estate in creating King Kong of Skull Island to delve into all things King Kong and Skull Island. Now is a perfect time to partner again with Nick and expand still further on another fabulous Kong adventure in comic books and gaming–exciting times ahead!”
DeVito's King Kong of Skull Island, which was originally published by Dark Horse Comics (see "Dark Horse Launches Prose Imprints") as part of its illustrated novel program. BOOM! Studios later published a six-issue miniseries based on the novel (see "‘Kong of Skull Island’ Miniseries").
