Exclusive: The La-based graphic novel publisher has made its latest move in an aggressive push into film and TV, teaming on the eve of Comic-Con with multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Robert Silverberg.
The pact will see Humanoids adapt selected novels from the Silverberg oeuvre into comic books and live action content and follows separate deals announced earlier this year with Paris-based Full House and China’s Jetavana.
The first property to move forward under the Silverberg deal is Downward To The Earth (artwork pictured), which Humanoids will publish as a graphic novel in 2016 from writer Philippe Thirault (Miss: Better Live Through Crime) and artist Laura Zuccheri (The Swords Of Glass).
The company will attend Comic-Con in San Diego and is actively developing a live content version of the 1970 sci-fi novel, styled by fans as a transcendent tale about a former colonial officer who believes the native species from an off-world settlement may hold the key to...

Seith Mann has directed tons of television episodes between "Californication", "The Wite" and "Fringe". Now he gets to dip his feet in a feature film as he jumps on to direct "Miss: Better Living Through Crime". Serving as producer is Hicham Benkirane under Vigilante Entertainment with Spike Lee on board as executive producer. The crime graphic novel created by Philippe Thirault, Mark Vigouroux and Marc Riou centers on Nola, a white femme fatale who grew up an impoverished orphan, and stylin’ Slim, a smooth-talking Harlem pimp with gambling troubles. The unlikely interracial pair partner as murderers-for-hire. Benkirane's link to "Miss" is through his previous job at Humanoids Publishing, which released the graphic novel back in 2002. You can imagine when he jumped ship last year that this was one of the titles he was eyeing.“It’s really held together by their love story, which is what allows them to keep going,...

With the emphasis we get on American comics, via DC, a few plucky indies, and the all-conquering Marvel, it's easy to forget that there's also an enormous graphic tradition in Europe, and especially France. But a Gallic contender is on its way across the Atlantic, in the form of Miss: Better Living Through Crime, to be scripted and directed by The Wire's Seith Mann.The original books by Philippe Thirault, Marc Riou and Mark Vigouroux are hard-boiled noirs, set in Manhattan in the 1920s and 30s. Poor white trash Nola gets kicked out of the orphanage, and while working as a private eye hooks up with Slim, a shady (is there any other kind?) black pimp. Naturally the two hook up as contract killers.Dark and violent, with the hard edge of the heroes being largely unsympathetic, and the tough territory of the race card being part of their arsenal,...
