Ed Wood’s Plan 9 From Outer Space Lands at Bluewater Comics
Bluewater Productions, Inc., along with Legend Films, is developing the sequel to the cult film Plan 9 From Outer Space.
That hasn’t deterred Darren G. Davis or Bluewater Productions, Inc. from bringing back the camp! The oversized issue from Bluewater Comics, titled Plan 9 From Outer Space … Strikes Again, is scheduled for a March 2009 release. The team will be writers Chad Helder & Darren G. Davis and drawn by Giovanni P. Timpano, both are alumni of the Vincent Price Presents series. Colors by Alex Sollazzo as well as a cover by Nate Watson (Scream Queen for BOOM! Studios).
Bluewater describes the oversized one-shot:
Fifty years after the alien invasion unleashed the unspeakable horror of Plan 9, a corrupt team of government scientists reactivates the zombie horde in order to lure the aliens back to Earth! Their sinister plan: steal the most hideous weapon known to intergalactic intelligence. Only conspiracy theorist, Eugene, and his mother, a former professional wrestler, can expose the shadowy agenda of the government as they fight off the growing zombie horde. This time, a new alien force invades Earth: the revolutionary followers of the martyred Eros. Eugene and his mother join forces with the last remaining heroes of a corrupt government. Together, they must thwart Plan 9 once again, with all life in the universe hanging in the balance.
Co-writer Chad Helder said, “Entering into the mind-space of Ed Wood was a huge thrill. I watched Plan 9 numerous times in order to seed my subconscious mind with Wood's extraordinary imagination that is 100% campy exuberance. After collaborating with Darren Davis on some character ideas, I went full-blast into a campy world of aliens, zombies, professional wrestlers, and mad scientists. I am really happy with the result.
“We wanted to pay homage to the film and since there were so many errors in the film – we had to add some into the comic.” Said co-writer Darren G. Davis. “Some of the mistakes will be obvious but you are going to have to get your magnifying glass to catch everything. This is something that has not been done in comics on purpose.”
"Everyone knows about Plan 9 and why it is called the 'worst movie ever made,’” said artist Giovanni P. Timpano. Plan 9 From Outer Space features aliens, zombies, vampires, ghouls, super bombs and a lot more!
