Franklin, MA – Caliber Entertainment, long recognized as one of the leading independent comic publishers with a library of hundreds of recognizable properties, has signed an agreement with Atlantis Studios to co-develop a new mini-series based on its popular RAVEN CHRONICLES mystery series which ran from 1995-1997. The new series will be targeted to young adults, and will begin production immediately for Summer 2006 publication.

Caliber owner Gary Reed was pleased to announce the development deal, “Raven Chronicles was one of our most successful and long-running series, and I always felt there were more stories to tell. Because of their focus on developing high-quality science fiction and fantasy comics, Atlantis Studios is the perfect partner to bring this new generation of stories to life!”

James Watson, President of Atlantis Studios, was quick to agree, “Caliber has long been a leader in creating unique and cutting-edge comics. They were ahead of their time in the 90s, and set the standard for the rest of us in terms of what an independent publisher could accomplish. We’re very excited to be bringing back one of their best-known properties.”

Caliber Entertainment has published hundreds of comics and graphic novels, and currently has several new comic book properties in development, including: Saint Germaine being collected in a trade paperback from Image for September 2005 release, Deadworld currently in release as a comic series from Image Comics, Beyond Avalon from Desperado Publishing, and Cross-Killers as a novel from Avalon Books.
