CrossGen Comics has signed an agreement with fantasy author R.A. Salvatore to bring his acclaimed fantasy series Demon Wars to comic book form.  Salvatore will not actually be writing the comics, though his editorial presence will be felt throughout the process.  Scott Ciencin, who like Salvatore wrote books for the Forgotten Realms series, will be writing the comic and artist Ron Wagner has been chosen to do some of the penciling on the first books, though the final creative teams have not been determined.

 

Under the terms of the Code 6 agreement CrossGen will pay the artists and writers page rates and finance the publication in its entirety.  For its trouble CrossGen will receive a 75% ownership stake in the comic.  As the creator of the series Salvatore will receive 25% of the profits and 25% of any and all royalties for items licensed from the comic series.
