In a widely circulated story on Virgin Comics, director Shekhar Kapur hints at the newest celebrity comics creator:
Kapur, who directed Elizabeth, said rock group Duran Duran were also interested in working with him on the comic books. Richard Branson’s Virgin Comics – of which Kapur is a co-founder – will publish the comics that are aimed to appeal to Indian and international audiences, the Mumbai Mirror says.
Does this mean we will finally see the comics version of 7 AND THE RAGGED TIGER? Or maybe THE REFLEX, which is a great name for a Virgin Comic, we think. Or howabout our favorite, ROGER: THE LOST YEARS. The Beat volunteers to write this book!
HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF – the mini series?
The Continuing Adventures of THE WILD BOYS! On PLANET EARTH!
God, it’s too bad Patrick Nagel isn’t alive to draw this.
Isn’t it more like, thank god Patrick Nagel isn’t around to draw this.
Or LeBON – Simon Lebon, that super spy that was rumored to be such a major influence behind Roger Moore’s 007??

I’d love to see a comic credit reading Duran Duran Doran.
And so, we come full circle, since the group took its name from a comic book character in the first place. (Maybe we can get a Barbarella crossover!)
A female spy comic – HER NAME IS RIO?
Cool news! I can’t hardly wait to read “THE UNION OF THE SNAKEwoman” in a “SKIN TRADEpaperback”.
When we could confierm this title?? Please, PLEASE TELL ME NOW!
Oooooh, I’d LOVE to see Colleen’s take on the boys. I expect she’s one of the few who could draw them as nice-looking as they really are.
How about “The Chauffeur” as a comic book? Really though, I haven’t been impressed with Virgin’s over-computerized comics.
I dont usually reply to posts but I will in this case. good job :)
