MARVEL COMICS' REVENGE OGN

Marvel Entertainment and ABC Studios have announced Revenge: The Secret Origin of Emily Thorne, an graphic novel inspired by the ABC television series Revenge. The 112-page hardcover hits comic shops and bookstores on Sept. 3.

Here's how Marvel describes the book:

"Emily Thorne is a recent addition to the Hamptons social scene -- a beautiful, wealthy woman who appears to be nothing more than a good-natured philanthropist. She's moved next door to the powerful Grayson family, and has begun immersing herself in their world.

"But there is more to this girl than meets the eye.

"Emily Thorne's real name is Amanda Clarke. At the age of nine, the Graysons and their elite social circle framed Amanda's father for a horrific crime he didn't commit. Now, twenty years later, Amanda has returned under an assumed identity to wreak havoc on the lives of those who stole her childhood and betrayed her father.

"Revenge: The Secret Origin of Emily Thorne follows Amanda as she sets out on her first mission of revenge. After training in Japan, the untested heroine finds herself infiltrating a high society of excess and intrigue in Geneva, Switzerland. There, she uncovers new secrets about her past while preparing for her future.

"However, it's a future that will be short-lived unless Amanda can figure out a way to take down a surprising enemy with ties to the same people who destroyed her life."

The creative team includes Revenge series writer Ted Sullivan, writer Erica Schultz, interior artist Vincenzo Balzano and cover artist Dustin Nguyen.

"This story takes us way back to before Emily had any experience in her 'takedowns,' Schultz said. "She makes mistakes. She learns from some of them, but, as you'll see, she has a hard time learning some lessons and fans of the show will be pleased to pick up on a few Easter Eggs hidden here and there."
