Media Release -- San Diego, CA (July 25, 2009) – Today at San Diego Comic Con, IDW Publishing announced that Eisner award-winning creator Bill Willingham will be joining the company on two separate projects. Willingham will bring his lauded storytelling ability to IDW's ongoing Angel series, with his first six-issue story, "The Crown Prince Syndrome," launching in December. Then, in 2010, IDW will publish a new fantasy book by Willingham and artist Gene Ha: Back Roads, the first collaboration of these two highly regarded creators.
"Bill is someone I've long wanted to work with," said IDW Publisher/Editor-in-Chief, Chris Ryall. "His storytelling ability and strong sense of character perfectly suit a book like Angel, and his first collaboration with Gene is a pairing of two true comic book superstars. I'm ecstatic about both."
