The Adventures of John BlakePosted by krebbe on February 19, 2008 at 10:26 pmPhilip Pullman is to contribute to a new children’s comic beginning in May. From publisher David Fickling and backed by Random House, The DFC will feature brand new content from top contributors and will be available to order online from http://www.thedfc.co.uk. Pullman’s strip is reported to tell the tale of a mysterious boy sailing in the Pacific. He reports:“I’ve always loved comics, and when I first heard about the DFC, I leapt at the chance of being involved. The chance to work in this wonderfully fluid and exciting form was too good to miss. I’ve had a lot of fun with the story of John Blake, and I hope readers will enjoy it as well as all the other great things in the DFC.”Further information on the story is a closely guarded secret and will only be revealed to subscribers when the comic arrives at their doors on May 30th. Details on the comic can be found at thebookseller.com and in this PR Newswire press release.
