IDW graphic novel rights picked up
The rights to IDW Publishing’s lycanthrope-ridden graphic novel “Welcome to Hoxford” have been snatched up by Chris Columbus’ 1492 Entertainment.
Created by Ben Templesmith, “Hoxford” concerns a psychiatrist who must team with a deeply disturbed patient in order to escape werewolves who run an institution for the criminally insane. Yes, werewolves.
You might remember Templesmith for his work in “30 Days of Night,” another IDW comic turned into a feature film. Plans are for Columbus to produce the adaptation along with 1492 partners Michael Barnathan and Mark Radcliffe.
Templesmith is also behind the graphic novels “Wormwood Gentleman Corpse” and “Singularity 7.”
