"Tales of King Komodo" and "Godzilla 1994" artist, Todd Tennant, has just signed on to illustrate the final two issues of Blue Water Comics, "It Came From Beneath The Sea Again.
As you can probably imagine the comic book series continues the story from the 1955 Columbia Pictures release, "It Came from Beneath the Sea", which was produced by Charles Schneer and featured the stop-motion effects work of Ray Harryhausen.
Here is the synopsis from Blue Water Comics:
In the 1950s, the U.S. Navy encountered and destroyed a gigantic octopus that attacked shipping and wreaked havoc on the west coast of the United States. American forces killed the creature and ended the threat once and for all. Or so they thought. They were wrong. Now, another monster is rising in the warm blue waters surrounding Taru Taru, a speck of land far out in the Pacific. And this time it’s worse than anyone ever imagined.
Many of you have followed the numerous attempts that both Todd and I have made to try in generate some sort of interest in bringing a new Godzilla comic book series to Dark Horse Comics. At least Blue Water was open to hearing the idea, and if it wasn't for Toho wanting a large chunk of cash for the rights, they would already be publishing a "G" series.
I don't want to toot my own horn, but I did have a hand in setting this up. A small one.
Congratulations go out to Todd for landing this gig. I'm certain that this will lead to him working on a new Blue Water series in the very near future!
