"Bestselling thriller novelist James Patterson has teamed up with IDW Publishing to produce comics based on his work. The &amp;#039;Alex Cross&amp;#039; creator is to release a five-part comic venture based on his young adult novel series Witch &amp;amp; Wizard. Adapted by Dara Naraghi, the book will be released under the subtitle &amp;#039;Battle For Shadowland&amp;#039;. Following the release of Wizard, Alexander Irvine will adapt another Patterson bestseller The Murder of King Tut for IDW. The author will be &amp;quot;heavily involved&amp;quot; in the story direction on both projects. &amp;quot;Comics could reach a much larger audience than they do right now. With all of the quality work and talent that&amp;#039;s out there, this industry could be so much bigger,&amp;quot; Patterson told USA Today. &amp;quot;I love to tell stories. I want my stories to reach as many people as possible.&amp;quot; Witch &amp;amp; Wizard arrives in stores in May. The Murder Of King Tut will follow in June.
