Death Dealer playing games

Frank Frazetta is a well-known man. His iconic painting known as "Death Dealer" has spawned multiple comic series, and most recently the series has found a home at Image Comics. But that just wasn't enough for Image. They decided that it was necessary to strike a deal with Goodman games to adapt the comic into a tabletop game. The adventure module will be published under the GSL license from Wizards of the Coast, utilizing the Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition mechanics and will feature cover art by Frank Frazetta as well as an alternate-cover edition by the original FRANK FRAZETTA'S DEATH DEALER team, Nat Jones and Jay Fotos. "Not only is this the first module based off the Frazetta Comics series, it's the first module fully approved by Frazetta period," said Frazetta Comics editor Jay Fotos. "Players will be able to explore the world of Death Dealer as never before, featuring the characters and situations given depth in the 'Shadows of Mirahan' storyline. This is the game Frazetta fans have dreamed about!" Now I never really got into Death Dealer, neither the painting nor the comic, so I can't personally attest to the story or anything. But frankly, if one painting has spawned a comic and now a game, well then it has to have some pull to attract the readers and now players. Full press release below.
