More promising is that Billy Smoke was sparked from the brain of writer B. Clay Moore, the co-creator of Image’s excellent ongoing series Hawaiian Dick (yes, recommended). Also kicking ass is Oni Press, which has adaptations like Scott Pilgrim with Michael Cera, The Last Call and Moore’s own Hollywood spy spoof Leading Man, in the movie oven, and will publish Smoke next year. No teaser art is available. Anyone remember when Johnny Knoxville was attached to New Line’s adaptation of Hawaiian Dick? Daltry Calhoun aside, I still think he could have pulled it off to a T.
