I had an e-mail this afternoon from my editor saying I could announce this on my blog… so guess what? I’m announcing it…<\/p>\n

I will be writing the new Disney-Pixar CARS comic book series for BOOM! Studios.<\/span><\/p>\n

No official launch date yet, but it is most likely some time in early 2009.<\/p>\n

The announcement that BOOM would be producing books based on the Disney-Pixar movies was made at San Diego back in July<\/a>. The evening it became official I attached myself to the editor at the Hyatt Bar, sobbed in to his beer, and begged to be given a chance to write CARS. The following morning I trailed him around the convention floor pitching ideas, until, in order to shut me up, he suggested that I put these insane babblings about anthropomorphic motor vehicles down on paper and send them in.<\/p>\n

Amazingly, both he, and the kind, wonderful, folks at Disney liked them enough to actually ask me to write a few scripts.<\/p>\n

This is the first time that Disney-Pixar has allowed anyone outside the studio to create original stories using their characters, and I’m looking forward to playing in their toy box.<\/p>\n
