Now the wish list includes at least 50 titles from “Rip Kirby” to “Moonshadow” to “Mercury” to “Captain Britain and MI-13.” Hopefully we’ll be able to hit more than a few of those titles in the near future.

What other properties we might be releasing…well, starting in 2011, we will be adapting pulp magazine characters such as The Green Lama and Secret Agent X, as well as some one the newer pulp creations out there, into a three-volume anthology series, with volume one coming out in 2012.

Also, we’re committed to working with Elaine on two Starstruck spin-off series, one taking place between the comics and the play, the other being an all-ages series of specials featuring The Galactic Girl Guides.

And while we can’t go into too great detail right now, Bill and I have connected with Bill’s old friend Dirk Maggs, the director of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” for BBC radio, and we will be talking original and licensed projects with him after the new year.

Thanks, Tim! There’s a lot of interesting material at your link, although I have to disagree with the idea that audio adaptations are also a “visual medium”. I know what he’s saying about the listener’s imagination, but it’s too much word-twisting to get there. I wish you’d asked them what they have planned next for the company, what other properties they might be releasing.

Johanna, thanks for the link to my interview with Elaine. You and your readers might be curious to know I also did an AudioComics interview over at my pop culture site:
