COMIC-CON: JENNIFER LOVE HEWITT'S THE MUSIC BOX

Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt is teaming up with IDW Publishing to release Jennifer Love Hewittıs The Music Box, a new comic series created by Hewitt.

IDW has published comics based on The Ghost Whisperer, the CBS series in which Hewitt stars.

The Music Box is a 10-issue anthology series details a mysterious music box that causes strange occurrences for the people who possess it.

"Love has created a really interesting premise for a comic-book series," said IDW publisher/editor-in-chief Chris Ryall. "Each story tells a standalone tale and they are all linked together by this mysterious music box."

The Music Box will be written by Scott Lobdell, and each issue will feature art tailored to the storyıs premise. The first issue in November will showcase painted art by Michael Gaydos. Subsequent issues will feature such as artists as Casey Maloney and Adam Archer, along with a team-up of comics veterans George Tuska and Joe Rubenstein.

The chance to create my very own comic, and a horror/thriller at that, is like a very fun nightmare come true,"Hewitt said. "I've always been fascinated by the notion that an inanimate object can hold as much malevolent energy as a human being can. And when they two meet, or are at cross purposes, very bad things can happen. I'm so proud of The Music Box and can't wait for people to read it... with the lights on, of course!²

Said Lobdell: "The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Tales of the Crypt, Eerie, Creepy, Alfred Hitchcock Presents and even Boris Karloff's Tales of Mystery -- classic scary page turners one and all! Jennifer Love Hewitt's The Music Box is a horror/mystery/thriller anthology series in that grand tradition. Tasked with the responsibility of turning Love's vision into reality has been a total thrill. And without giving anything away I can tell you that no one comes away from their encounter with the music box unscathed!"
