Official Press Release

Dial “C” For Comics is proud to announce that its upcoming graphic novel, MISERABLE DASTARDS™, has just been optioned by feature film producers Mike Greene and Brian Murphy (2001 Maniacs: The Sequel, San Saba, Labou) and is also being produced by Jason Kim of Lovett Management.

Written and created by Richard A. Hamilton, MISERABLE DASTARDS follows three henchmen-for-hire – or Dastards – who crew for Philadelphia’s most notorious (and inept) super-criminals. All these thugs want is to pay their mortgages and put their kids through college. But after suffering one humiliating defeat too many, the Dastards decide to stop taking orders and start scheming their own criminal capers.

The action/comedy heist tale, illustrated by Harvey Award-winner Jeremy Dale, has already earned sterling reviews from Ain’t It Cool News, declaring it “something new and exciting… it’s a damn good comic that will keep you guessing and smiling long after you’ve put it down.”

“The fact that Mike and Brian see something special in our henchmen with a heart is extremely validating,” says Richard A. Hamilton. “Beneath the matching crook costumes and gloved punches to the face, ‘Dastards’ is really about three average joes with a not-so-average vocation. If you’re a fan of the anonymous thugs from the 60s Batman TV show or if you’ve ever had a job that sucked, this is the story for you!”

MISERABLE DASTARDS is currently available in the July 2009 Previews Catalog as a “Spotlight” and “Certified Cool” item. The 96 page, full-color graphic novel retails for $9.99 and will debut at the San Diego Comic-Con on Preview Night, July 22, 2009.

About the Producers

Murphy and Greene are also developing a show for Cartoon Network a feature with 50 Cent’s Cheetah Vision Entertainment.

Miserable Dastards gets a great review!

The folks at Ain’t it Cool News recently reviewed Miserable Dastards! Here’s an excerpt:

MISERABLE DASTARDS is one of those rare comic books that never feels indy. Amazing artwork and story with great production values makes it feel more like a superhero comedy that would have come from DC in the late nineties (back when they were doing great work on titles like MAJOR BUMMER). The book is a fun book from page one and certainly make you root for the bad guys. Well, the quasi-bad guys. Though we root for them there is always the thought in the back of your mind that it’s going to be certain disaster for Nic and his crew. It’s a damn good comic that will keep you guessing and smiling long after you’ve put it down.
