Early this morning, licensing machine Dynamite Entertainment quietly announced that they had acquired the license to publish a line of comics based around the classic family television show Little House on the Prairie.
“To tell you the truth, I don’t really know how it happened,” said Dynamite Director of Marketing Joe Rybandt. “We were bidding on the rights to Magnum P.I., and someone asked if we wanted Little House, and I guess we were just feeling bid-crazy so we grabbed it. We may have had a bit too much to drink, too. Anyway, we’re committed to publishing pioneer comics for the next five years, so we’re gonna make a go of it.”
“This is just what happened on eBay, actually. I just wanted some old Jim Starlin Warlock issues, but somehow I ended up paying $200 for the complete Clone Saga.”
Dynamite plans to launch Little House: Back to the Prairie in early 2008. The first issue will feature variant covers by Mike Mignola and Geof Darrow, as well as a special “Zombie Michael Landon” incentive cover by Arthur Suydam.
