What could unite Communion's Whitley Strieber, the writer of A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 5 and post-X-Files alien abduction conspiracies? That would be The Nye Incidents, an upcoming comic book based upon an unmade screenplay sequel to the book and movie that made Strieber's name. We've got more about the project, and exclusive art, under the jump.
Any project that advertises itself with the line "The story Whitley Streiber was too terrified to tell himself" is going to be a winner, if only because who wouldn't want to read a story so scary that it has to be written while someone holds your literary hand? The graphic novel, adapted from Streiber's unproduced screenplay by Nightmare on Elm Street veteran and sci-fi novelist Craig Spector, is apparently based on Streiber's real life investigations into alien abductees who return to Earth mutilated and under mysterious circumstances. Are aliens going on surgical joyrides with human test subjects, or is there something even more sinister going on? With the book due in April from publisher Devils Due Publishing, here's an advance look at what you can expect.

so this has nothing whatsoever to do with the science guy, bill?
Streiber has a knack for scary stories - both Communion and Majestic are downright creepy, and who can forget Wolfen? OK, maybe some people. Anyway, Spector has also written some scary stuff in his time, so the chances are good that this will turn out to be an effective shocker. Not the Dane Cook kind.
Can anyone tell me why the Skipp/Spector twin powers of splatterpunk broke up?
Loved them together, apart, not so much.
Nah, Streiber's just easily scared.
-Kle.
But if you stop them from abducting abductees, the abductees will loose their purpose in life :(
Heh, I see pubes.
So this is inspired by "Streiber's real life investigations into alien abductees". And what more convincing way to present such worldshaking data could there be than a comic book?
