Detectives Inc.
A Terror of Dying Dreams
(An excerpt from the comic
book)
by Don McGregor
Thrilling Detective is really
pleased to present something a little different.
But first, a little background...
Back in 1985, Don McGregor had
a vision for a private eye film, about his racially-mixed team
of tough New York eyes, based on characters he had originally
created for the highly-claimed graphic novel A
Remembrance of Threatening Green. He
had a script and everything, for what was "primarily a presentation
piece," but you know what they say about the best laid plans
of mice and men and McGregors...
Undaunted, Don turned around and
reworked the film script, transforming it into the second graphic
novel, A Terror of
Dying Dreams, featuring private eyes
Ted Denning & Bob Rainier , collectively known as Detectives Inc.
Now, for the first time, Thrilling
Detective is pleased to present a glimpse at not only Don's original
film script,
but also the original comic
script for the same scene (both reproduced
here, warts'n'all), as well as the actual comic book page that
was the ultimate result, as rendered by comics legend Gene Colan.
