Entertainment company Idw will develop six of the company's popular comic books and graphic novels into live-action TV series:
“Bacchus” is based on Eddie Campbell's subversive drama that drops the gods of ancient Greece into present day as if they had never left.

“Puncher & Spoony” is based on the book “Dragon Puncher” by James Kochalka, published by Idw imprint Top Shelf Productions. The Eisner Award-winning comedy adventure chronicles the exploits of Dragon Puncher, a cute but rather ruthless kitty who dons his heroic armored battle suit as he punches out evil dragons together with sidekick Spoony (a fuzzy little friend armed with a wooden spoon).
“Korgi’ is based on writer-artist Christian Slade's beloved dog opus that follows the stories of a Korgi...
