Niche imprint Radical Comics just keeps pumping out the four-color gold, steadily dropping jaws with titles like HOTWIRE: REQUIEM FOR THE DEAD, the devastating FVZA: FEDERAL VAMPIRE AND ZOMBIE AGENCY and Nick Percival’s arresting dark fantasy LEGENDS: THE ENCHANTED. LEGENDS, both written and illustrated by the talented Percival (pictured), takes place in a dark, richly evocative land of monsters and myth, where creatures of literate fantasy exist as immortal demigods. When Pinocchio—yes, Pinocchio—is found murdered, the narrative morphs from violent fantasy to grim neo-noir.

The title seems a natural fit to be acquired for the cinema—and earlier this year, that’s exactly what happened when juggernaut filmmaker Ron Howard announced his plans to turn the title into a feature film. In the meantime, the LEGENDS series is available in graphic-novel form for legions of new fans to enjoy. Fango spoke with Percival about his work and the wild world he forged for LEGENDS: THE ENCHANTED.
