Actress and famed scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis is making her graphic novel writing debut with a horror story. Mother Nature is an eco-horror story cowritten by filmmaker Russell Goldman and illustrated by Karl Stevens. The book is adapted from the script for the upcoming Comet Pictures and Blumhouse horror movie of the same name that will be directed by Curtis. It will be published by Titan Comics and be in stores in the fall of 2022.

Mother Nature introduces Nova Terrell, who witnessed her father’s death due to mysterious circumstances on an experimental oil extraction project for the Cobalt Corporation. She grew up hating the company even though it is the central source of jobs for Catch Creek, New Mexico. Determined to destroy the oil giant, Nova accidently uncovers what is really behind the Mother Nature project and a vengeful entity that kill them all.

“I first thought about this story when I was 19 years old,” Curtis said. “I’ve always been aware of the very unbalanced relationship between humans and nature, and even though I was young, I always knew that, inevitably, nature would win.”

“I have long admired and collected Karl’s work, and I’m very excited he suggested expanding the idea to turn it into a graphic novel. The partnership with Titan has now given us a wonderful platform to begin to tell our story,” she added.

“I was immediately blown away by the depth of the characters, the perfect blend of action and gore, the urgent ecological message, and how all these things would translate beautifully into a graphic novel,” Stevens said. “It’s a joy and privilege to work with Titan Comics and Blumhouse on this project. I’m producing the best work of my career!”

“We wanted to reach deeper than the big picture doom-and-gloom of climate change narratives to tell a story specific to Four Corners, New Mexico, an amazing part of the world where every major source of energy is mined, and where the climate and resource crises are acutely felt,” Goldman said. “We wanted to use these themes to shape a story that feels intense, honest and unexpectedly aspirational.”

Mother Nature is a 156-page hardcover graphic novel priced at $24.99. It will be available in the fall of 2022.
