FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GREEN RONIN LICENSES THE NOCTURNALS
Critically Acclaimed Comic to be Subject of Mutants &
Masterminds Sourcebook
March 17, 2003—SEATTLE, WA: Green Ronin Publishing has reached
an agreement with Dan Brereton to license his critically
acclaimed comic Nocturnals for the Mutants & Masterminds RPG.
Green Ronin will publish Nocturnals: A Midnight Companion,
co-authored by Brereton and Green Ronin’s founder Chris Pramas.
The book, an essential guide to the world and characters of the
Nocturnals, includes a brand new, 8-page story and new rules
for the Mutants & Masterminds RPG.
"Nocturnals is an amazing comic and we're thrilled to be
bringing it to the RPG market," says Pramas. "Dan's one of the
few guys in comics who can do it all--painting, writing,
storytelling--and he is just the kind of creator we want
involved with Mutants & Masterminds."
"I'm very impressed with Mutants & Masterminds and had a great
time illustrating some of its characters. It put me in mind to
approach Green Ronin about doing a Nocturnals game book and it
turned out they had the same idea," says Brereton. "The plan
is to create a book that will act as a companion guide for fans
of the comics, as well as an excellent interactive way for
readers and gamers alike to submerge themselves in the
Nocturnals universe."
Nocturnals: A Midnight Companion is scheduled for a late summer
release. The book will be full color and lavishly illustrated
by Brereton and other hand-picked Nocturnals artists, such as
Ted Naifeh (The Gunwitch: Outskirts of Doom, Courtney Crumrin),
Phil Noto (Danger Girl, Beautiful Killer), and more to be
announced.
