NEW YORK – Comic book studio Dabel Brothers Productions, LLC has joined forces with leading publisher Marvel Comics to adapt some of the most popular fantasy, science fiction and horror novels into comic books and graphic novels.  Through the partnership, Marvel has signed on as the exclusive publisher for Dabel Brothers Productions, obtaining the marketing, print and distribution rights. The Dabel Brothers will continue to operate as an independent entity working with science-fiction, fantasy and horror authors on story development.

Marvel and the Dabel Brothers look to broaden their audience and the graphic fiction category by expanding literary favorites from a stable of bestselling authors into high quality comic books and graphic novels. While maintaining the integrity of the original stories, the medium hopes to attract new readers as well as loyal fans of the literary works with great storytelling and eye-catching artwork.

The first new project to be released under the agreement features New York Times bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton.  Based on Hamilton ’s most famous creation, Anita Blake, Marvel and the Dabel
Brothers will release a new comic book series called Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter in October.  The series,
which features the artwork of Brett Booth (Heroes Reborn: Fantastic Four), is a story of fantasy, romance and horror centering on an alternate reality where the U.S. government has declared the undead as legal beings.  While attempting to coexist with humans, the vampires, zombies and werewolves still like to wreck havoc on occasion and that’s when Anita Blake must step in and protect the world.

Additionally, in the coming months, Marvel and the Dabel Brothers will be bringing to comic book form George R. R. Martin's Hedge Knight series, Orson Scott Card's Red Prophet, and Raymond E. Feist's Magician: Apprentice (part one of the Riftwar saga).
