ABC’s Pushing Daisies, created by Bryan Fuller, followed the adventures of a lovelorn pie maker who could raise people from the dead. The show was swiftly cancelled by ABC early last ear, however creator Bryan Fuller is set to resurrect the show as a comic and SciFi Wire got the scoop from Pushing Daisies star Chi McBride during an interview for McBride’s latest show, Human Target:
Bryan’s doing a graphic novel. He sent me a couple pages. It was off the hook. It’s really good… it’s a whole thing about a whole bunch of corpses coming to life. That’s all I know so far, but Bryan was kind enough to share the first few pages. It really looks good. It seems a little darker, which is a lot of things that Bryan couldn’t do.
Pushing Daisies managed to do the impossible and build a solid fan base despite it’s brief run on television. McBride states the graphic novel serves as a good reward to the viewers who stuck by the show, even though there weren’t enough to keep it on the air:
We had an extremely loyal fan base, so I’m glad they’re going to be able to get something to continue on and more so, wrap up the continuation of these characters’ lives.
There’s no news on when the Pushing Daisies graphic novel will see the light of day, but we’ll keep you posted…
