Sony Pictures Television Developing ‘Faust’ Animated Series Based on Comic Book

Sony Pictures Television has acquired its newest comic property, Faust, with plans to develop it as an animated series, reports Deadline of the superhero horror comic book from writer David Quinn and artist Tim Vigil.

“Released by Quinn and Vigil’s Rebel Studios in 1987, Faust follows John Jaspers, a tormented vigilante who sells his soul in exchange for superpowers and must then rise against Mephistopheles to rescue his lover Dr. Jade DeCamp and win back his soul.”

Godkiller writer Matteo Pizzolo will write the adaptation under his first-look deal with SPT.

Comic’s creators Quinn and Vigil will serve as consulting producers on the adaptation, with Black Mask Entertainment’s Brian Giberson executive producing.

The core series and its various spinoffs ran for 25 years from a host of publishers including Northstar Comics, Caliber Comics, Avatar Press, and principally Quinn and Vigil’s own Rebel Studios.”
