SAN DIEGO (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) July 25, 2007 --
World-famous entrepreneur, adult entertainment icon and New York Times
best-selling author Jenna Jameson is creating and staring in her
own series of comic books, it was announced today by Virgin Comics CEO,
Sharad Devarajan, at Comic-Con, the industry’s
annual super-festival in San Diego. The series, titled Shadow Hunter,
debuts in comic shops and online comic retailers in December. The
complete 144 page Shadow Hunter book will be available in June
2008 at all major book sellers. A new site, JennaComix.com,
will host additional information, previews and pre-orders of the comic
art and books.
Shadow Hunter is the story of a provocative superheroine who
survives a brush with death only to find herself fighting the legions of
hell for her very soul. Cover art for the first issue has been created
by Greg Horn, a top illustrator of comic books and video games. The
story, while provocative and sexy, contains no nudity and is intended
for a mainstream audience.
“Jenna Jameson is a cultural force,”
said Virgin Comics CEO Sharad Devarajan. “She
is an entrepreneur who is taking the taboo to the mainstream and has
built an industry around her brand.”
“I’m
thrilled to be collaborating with Virgin to bring this story to life,
first as comics and eventually in film and other formats,”
said Jenna Jameson. “Working with
comics is creatively liberating – everything
is possible. My character is sultry, sexy and kicks ass!’
"Jenna brings a defiance and edge to everything she does, said
Gotham Chopra, Chief Creative Officer of Virgin Comics. “She's
a provocateur and there's no doubt that our creative team at Virgin is
going to have a blast collaborating with her. I can assure you every
artist we have in our studio is vying to get assigned to this project!"
San Diego Comic-Con is preparing for record crowds when Jenna makes her
very first appearance at this event that attracts more than 100,000
fans. Jenna will be speaking about Shadow Hunter and signing
autographs for fans on Saturday afternoon, July 28 at 4:30 PM. Images
from the series will be available from the Virgin Comics booth at the
San Diego Convention Center.
