Music Box by Jennifer Love Hewitt

Jennifer Love Hewitt is launching her first comic book with IDW Publishing. Jennifer Love Hewitt’s The Music Box is a ten-issue anthology series about a mysterious music box that causes strange occurrences for the people who posses it.

“Love has created a really interesting premise for a comic book series,” said IDW Publisher/Editor-in-Chief, Chris Ryall. “Each story tells a standalone tale and they are all linked together by this mysterious music box.”

The Music Box will be written by Scott Lobdell with painted art by Michael Gaydos. Future issues will feature other talented artists.

“The chance to create my very own comic, and a horror/thriller at that, is like a very fun nightmare come true,” said Hewitt. “I’ve always been fascinated by the notion that an inanimate object can hold as much malevolent energy as a human being can. And when they two meet, or are at cross purposes, very bad things can happen. I’m so proud of The Music Box and can’t wait for people to read it… with the lights on, of course!”

Issue #1 of Jennifer Love Hewitt’s The Music Box comes out in November 2009.
