LIEBERMAN AND DYNAMITE UNVEIL “MAGIK”
First OGN From Red Sonja Writer Debuts in October
August 15, 2006, Runnemede, NJ – Last "seen" co-writing the pages of the smash RED SONJA VS. THULSA DOOM cross-over from DYNAMITE ENTERTAINMENT, writer Luke Lieberman is back this October with his first Original Graphic Novel – STREET MAGIK!
“When we first started speaking with Luke about the SONJA/DOOM series, and he mentioned this story idea that he had,” explained DYNAMITE SPOKESPERSON J. ALLEN. “And STREET MAGIK was born. Luke is a gifted and unique writer, with extensive credentials in the creative arts and STREET MAGIK is a great chance for the fans to see another side of Luke, and of DYNAMITE!”
"This is one of those stories I have had bouncing around in my head for years,” Lieberman explained. “It means a lot to me to see it come to life like this."
Teaming with Luke Lieberman to bring Street Magik to life is writer and artist Kevin (Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Transient) McCarthy who helped adapt the script for the graphic novel.
The OGN is available for pre-order now for your local retailer and scheduled to ship in September.
