IDW Publishing To Release CSI: New York
In fall 2004, New York City joins Las Vegas and Miami in the line-up of
CSI teams on CBS-TV. IDW Publishing, which has released comic books and graphic novels based on both previous series, will join the in the excitement with its first
CSI: New York release, written by noted crime writer Max Allan Collins.
Jeff Mariotte, IDW's Editor-in-Chief, said, "
CSIhas been a linchpin of our publishing program from the beginning.
CSI: New York looks like a terrific addition to the line-up, and we look forward to telling new adventures of Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise), Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes) and their team."
Collins is well known for his original graphic novel
Road to Perdition, adapted into the Academy Award-winning movie, and has written most of the previous
CSI comic books and novels. He adds, "Having done both Vegas and Miami in various forms - novels, video games, and so on... I was hoping I'd get asked to be part of the new NYC franchise. The grittiness that venue provides can give us a whole new take on the
CSI format, and my forensics researcher Matt Clemens and I are already cooking up grisly fare for this new team of CSIs."
