DC ENTERTAINMENT'S VERTIGO IMPRINT TO PUBLISH MAD MAX: FURY ROAD DELUXE EDITION AND PRELUDE COMIC STORIES

Thu, 02/12/2015

George Miller Collaborates with All-Star Artists to tell Stories Inspired by the Much-Anticipated Action Adventure

Vertigo, the innovative, boundary-pushing imprint of DC Entertainment, will collaborate with Mad Max: Fury Road director, producer and co-writer George Miller on two upcoming projects based on the film. The first is a Deluxe Edition hardcover entitled MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: INSPIRED ARTISTS, in which sixty-five top artists will create art inspired by the world of Mad Max: Fury Road. The second is four comic book stories that follow four main characters of the film and tell their prelude stories leading up to the film’s opening scene.

MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: INSPIRED ARTISTS will contain double-page spreads from 65 visionary artists bringing their own unique style to the world of Mad Max: Fury Road. Each of the artists’ work will be inspired by Miller’s post-apocalyptic wasteland. These spreads will range from spectacular action sequences to haunting character portraits. Artists participating include Lee Bermejo, Dave McKean, Cliff Chiang, Nicola Scott, Stephanie Hans, Tara McPherson, among others. This book is due to hit shelves on May 6, prior to the film’s May 15th release.

In addition, George Miller, Nico Lathouris and Mark Sexton are writing four prelude stories that follow leading characters Nux, Immortan Joe, Furiosa, and Mad Max, whose story will be in two parts. This miniseries will release one issue a month, starting with MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: NUX & IMMORTAN JOE #1 releasing on May 20, followed by MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: FURIOSA #1 and MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: MAD MAX #1 & #2. Nico Lathouris served as a co-writer on the film while Mark Sexton served as storyboard and concept artist for Mad Max: Fury Road. Interior artists working on these projects include Riccardo Burchielli, Leandro Fernandez, Tristan Jones, and Mark Sexton, while covers will be illustrated by Tommy Lee Edwards.

Hopefully the other stories will be made into films.

So is this book on Amazon The Art of Mad Max the same as MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: INSPIRED ARTISTS or is it something different?

[biolumen]

I'm guessing that parts of these prequels were once destined to be made into that anime Miller talked about a few years ago, but the shutdown of his Dr D Studios nixed that idea.

Nice to see WB going all out with Mad Max. "The Art of..." book, comic books, AAA game. Just waiting for word on the toys/action figures. I hope it all pays off for them in the end, getting us more movies.

Different. The one you linked is the official companion with conceptual art and photos from the film. The art book announced today is a book of the comic industry top talent giving their tribute and interpretation for Fury Road and Mad Max.

Love the cover.

No toys just yet. Every major figure company has passed on the license but Toy Fair kicks off this weekend in New York so we should get a definitive answer.

Very nice artwork. Mad Max has really gone to a complete new level.
For me it is just watching out for those comics when there for sale. I don't think they'll end up in shops over here (if there will be translated versions available)

It's interesting how the Interrupter on the cover of the Immortan Joe book looks more like the MM1 version with its fromt grilletc intact then the one in the actuall movie.

Probably just artist license.
