The AudioComics Company reports it will be the official audio theatre production arm for comic book publishers Moonstone Entertainment, producing full-cast adaptations of its licensed and original comic books and graphic novels, as well as selections from their line of short story anthologies.
The pieces will be available on compact disc and pay-per-Mp3 digital download through a variety of outlets, including Moonstone's online store, at comic book conventions, the iTunes store and community audio drama showcases across North America.
The first collaboration will be 'Honey West', adapted by Elaine Lee from her mini-series "Murder on Mars", starring Carrington MacDuffie as 'Honey West'.
The original three issue story arc featured detective Honey West joining the cast of a mid-1960s low-budget science fiction movie (“Amazons of Mars”) to investigate the murder of the film’s starlet, 'Zu Zu Varga'. Honey must find out if the culprit is a scheming ingenue, a down-on-his-luck director, a jealous agent or an aging teen heartthrob.
"AudioComics brings a very professional quality sound, as well as great voice actors to the table, and the final result is the best we have heard," said Moonstone editor-in-chief Joe Gentile.
"It's not a plain ol' audio book, it's an audio play, like a private performance in your living room!"
