Literary classic DORIAN GRAY gets reimagined in graphic novel, print novel, and tv series

from the official TidalWave press release . . . . . .

 

Based on the comic book series that reimagines Oscar Wilde classic, Dorian Gray, Markosia Enterprisesintroduces a new young adult novelization of the comic book series.  The brand is also being developed a television series by Bohemia Group Originals.  

 

Written by John Garavaglia the 360-page novel is available this week thru all book channels. 

 

The Grays are a cursed family. Dorian Gray IV, the last of his line, struggles with the realization that his personal demons are exactly that…a supernatural force that plagues not only the Grays but many of society's wealthiest families. Convinced that his redemption will only be secured through ridding the city of demons called the Morbi, Dorian launches an ongoing crusade for his soul.

 

"I’ve have had these projects in my mind for years and finally being able to get them out is a dream come true. I have had a lot of success with reestablishing classic characters such as the muses in 10th Muse as well as Legend of Isis,” said creator Darren G. Davis.

 

"We are thrilled to be developing Dorian Gray as a television series with Darren and TidalWave.  The themes and character both from the classic Oscar Wilde novel and Darren's fresh and fun update resonate as strongly as ever in this age of narcissistic reflection; focus."  - Susan Ferris, CEO of Bohemia Group Originals. 

 

“The Picture of Dorian Gray has always been one of my favorite books.  And it’s very exciting for me as a writer that I can take a well-known character and revamp him to a new generation of readers.  I’ve always thought the original story was one of the very first teen dramas in the history of literature.  Plus, it had the psychological thriller aspect that questions Dorian’s sanity, and how he becomes a slave to his own vanity.” John Garavaglia.

 

This is the first of eight novels in a new publishing venture with Markosia.  Other titles will include, Sinbad Rogue of Mars, Wrath of the Titans and Insane Jane.  

 

“I am delighted to be working with Darren and his talented team at Tidalwave Productions with the Dorian Gray novel.  I look forward to an exciting partnership with Tidalwave Productions and hopefully many more books!” said Markosia publisher Harry Markos.
