The Black Mirror episode “San Junipero” has spawned its own comic book, created by Twisted Comics in collaboration with Banijay Rights.
The move follows the success of the “USS Callister” graphic novel and preview edition. Fans can now preorder the “San Junipero” edition, with select tiers eligible to be drawn into the comic book as a character. Cameos are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. A Kickstarter went live today.
Neil Gibson at Twisted Comics said, “‘San Junipero’ is one of the most loved Black Mirror episodes, and translating it into a graphic novel was something we approached with real care. Our goal was to honor the tone and emotion of the original story while presenting it in a format that both fans and comic readers can experience in a new way. We’re also offering fans the chance to be illustrated into the background of select pages, a unique way to get involved!”
David Christopher, director of licensing and merchandising at Banijay Rights, added, “We’re pleased to be continuing our work with Twisted Comics following the excellent reception to USS Callister. This adaptation offers fans another way to engage with the world of Black Mirror through a collectible format.”
