ESPN today covered the upcoming release of ‘WWE: Undertaker’, a graphic novel from Boom! Studios.
The book will dig into the wrestling legend’s career.
The book’s writer Chad Dundas shared why Undertaker is such a special character and how he hopes to go ‘deeper’ with the character:
“He’s part of the classic early 90s era, he obviously a key part of the Attitude Era and he just wrestled at Wrestlemania 34. There’s no one else that really is that vital, regardless of if you’re a recent convert to professional wrestling, or you’re someone like me who’s been watching it for 30 freaking years. You know The Undertaker.”
“One of the most fun parts of a project like this is getting to take those deep dives into these big relationships in the Undertaker’s career,” said Dundas. “Deep-dive into how he got hooked up with Pall Bearer. A deep-dive into his relationship with Kane. Trying to imagine what conversations between the two of them would have been like backstage after Kane debuts and the Undertaker realizes that this brother that he thought had died when he was a child, is still alive.”
The comic book will be released in October.
