The first title of 50 AMP, “TERRARIA”, is based on one of the top 10 best-selling video games of all time, created by RE-LOGIC, which launches in September.
Founded by Grant Alter, 50 AMP PRODUCTIONS is a new publishing/entertainment company that will bring some of the best features to comics and graphic novels. The first project of 50 AMP PRODUCTIONS is based on “Terraria”, which has sold more than 45 million copies.
The collaboration between 50 AMP PRODUCTIONS and RE-LOGIC is not the first time “Terraria” has ventured into comics. In 2016, DC Comics released a one-shot “Terraria” comic book, which was sold with 2 miniature figures. The comics were sold exclusively at Toys “R” Us, where they sold out immediately. Occasionally there are copies for sale on eBay for over $60.
“We’ve worked closely with our partners at 50 AMP PRODUCTIONS on all aspects of the graphic novels – from script to line art to colors and more, we really feel these strike a perfect balance between staying authentic to the Terraria experience while keeping enough have creative licenses to create a compelling story within the Terraria universe,” said Ted Murphy, head of corporate strategy and marketing for RE-LOGIC, creators of the video game “Terraria”.
The single-issue comic books for this series will be available exclusively at www.50ampproductions.com, along with some really exciting collectibles.
The collected graphic novels will be widely distributed in shops and outlets that sell beautiful graphic novels everywhere.
Grant Alter has more than a decade of experience in the world of comics and publishing, having served as a writer, editor, and editor-in-chief. Dean Koontz, Charlaine Harris, Stephen King, Paulo Coelho, The Dresden Files, the Game of Thrones prequel, Wheel of Time, Marvel Comics, Image Comics, Devil’s Due, Dabel Brothers, Dynamite Entertainment, Random House and Harper Collins are one some of the projects, people and companies that Alter has enjoyed being involved with over the years.
Along with Grant comes a solid team led by Creative Consultant, Andrew Cosby, co-founder of BOOM! Studio and co-creator of the successful SyFy TV series Eureka; and Creative Director Dave Lanphear, a veteran of the comics industry who has worked for Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Image Comics, CrossGen, Sony Pictures, and many other media companies.
50 AMP PRODUCTIONS CEO, Grant Alter said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed working with RE-LOGIC to tell a compelling original story that people of all ages can relate to, while ensuring that it is so closely matches the existing elements of the game itself. We’ve made this book accessible to new fans, but fun for the fans who have supported this game for over a decade.”
