Fans of canceled television shows from the 1980s and 1990s will soon have new material to comfort them. NBC Universal is partnering with Lion Forge Comics, a digital publisher, to develop comics for several series of yore. The first wave of announced comics are “Airwolf,” which ran from 1984 to 1987, “Knight Rider” (1982-1986), “Miami Vice” (1984-1989), “? Brewster” (1984-86) and “Saved by the Bell” (1989-1993).
“Airwolf,” which will be available in September, will be the first of the series released. This year, each series will have an eight-issue season. Next year, each series will have two eight-issue seasons. Lion Forge will have a panel featuring preview art and discussing other series in development at Comic-Con International in San Diego, which runs July 18-21.
