Comic interpretation coming in May
Things From Another World has a listing for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: The Graphic Novel, due from Del Rey on May 5, 2010. Based on the book by Seth Grahame-Smith (which in turn is a riff on Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice, only… with zombies), the best seller not only has this comic book interpretation coming, but a movie adaptation from Natalie Portman’s handsomecharlie shingle production company, as well as a sequel book titled Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls.
Below’s the full synopsis from the site:
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains.” So begins Pride and Prejudice and Zombies–Jane Austen’s immortal classic of Regency romance, brought to glorious, gory new life with zombie mayhem from Seth Grahame-Smith.
The book quickly became a New York Times bestseller, and now the story is a graphic novel–the perfect format to bring this remixed masterpiece to zombie-loving pop-culture fans.
Elizabeth Bennet is one of England’s most fearsome warriors, whose speed with a sword is only matched by her quick wit. But she faces her most formidable foe yet in the haughty, conceited, and yet strangely attractive person of Mr. Darcy.
As the two lovers meet in the ballroom and on the battlefield, they’ll soon learn that nothing–not even bands of ninjas, disapproving aunts, and an army of ravenous zombies–can stop true love.
