Broken Frontier

Writer/producer Frank Beddor (The Looking Glass Wars trilogy/There’s Something About Mary) is branching out from his novelized trip through the looking glass with The Looking Glass Wars: Hatter M, a four issue mini-series to debut from Desperado Publishing on December 7. Though a likely association to the familiar character from Alice in Wonderland can be made to Hatter M, The Looking Glass Wars: Hatter M is not the story of a mad hatter.

Shot through an exit portal into a world far different from his own, Royal Bodyguard Hatter Madigan finds himself in Paris, France in the year 1859, shockingly separated from Princess Alyss of Wonderland. Pledged to protect the princess after the bloody coup that killed her parents at the start of the Looking Glass Wars, Hatter’s search for Alyss commences immediately and continues incessantly leaving the whispers and totems of myth in his non-stop wake. Put to rest any delusions or disinformation you may have of the tea guzzling madman of faux literary history and prepare to expand your consciousness as the saga of Hatter Madigan and his relentless search for Alyss, Wonderland’s lost princess, unfolds in this upcoming series.

The four issue mini-series features a story by Frank Beddor and Liz Cavalier with full color art by Ben Templesmith. Beddor is the author of The Looking Glass Wars novels, currently only available in the UK, but soon to be released in the US through Penguin Young Readers Group, as well as producer of the hugely popular Hollywood film, There’s Something About Mary.

“All along I envisioned The Looking Glass Wars as a larger story than even the trilogy can contain,” said Beddor. “In the first book, the story of Hatter Madigan is briefly touched on, but there is so much more to it that needed to be told. The perfect way to tell it was through a visual medium like comics. And the perfect artist to draw it was Ben Templesmith. His style on 30 Days of Night hit home for me and I knew it was exactly right for Hatter M.”

The Looking Glass Wars: Hatter M #1 is available for order through Diamond by using order code: OCT051709.
