Universal Content Productions Moves into Comics
Universal Content Productions, a division of NBCUniversal that is responsible for producing shows like Battlestar Galactica and Umbrella Academy, is jumping into comics. Their new comics imprint will begin with Proctor Valley Road by Grant Morrison and Alex Child, which follows a group of teenage girls who are suspects in the 1964 disappearances of several boys.
The comic will be under the UCP Graphic imprint and published by BOOM! Studios. This imprint joins their podcasting platform UCP Audio, which was launched in June.
“Similar to our strategy with launching UCP Audio, we want to offer storytellers the opportunity to create for multiple content platforms including graphic novels. Our goal is for UCP to be a home for great storytelling, no matter the medium,” UCP President Dawn Olmstead said.
Morrison has already established a relationship with UCP, currently developing and writing a TV adaptation of his comic series The Invisibles. He is also working with them as a writer and producer on Brave New World.
