Preview: Simon Pegg's Digital Graphic Novel

Preview: Simon Pegg's Digital Graphic NovelBleeding Cool revealed the existence of this project, The Adventures Of Simon Pegg And Canterbury And The Mystery Of The Scarlet Panther And The Star Of Nefertiti And The Tablet Of Amonhotep IV, a digital graphic novel based upon the story that Simon Pegg weaves through his recent autobiography, Nerd Do Well. Adapted by cartoonist Gaz Roberts , it will be released on Thursday the 25th of November and the website for the graphic novel has just gone live. But here is an exclusive look at the graphic novel's first chapter in an easy-to-read Flash format…

Sorry, iPad users. Find a workaround. You and Android users will be able to download the whole thing on the 25th.

Here's the lowdown…

Marvel as his superhero alter-ego traverses the continents in his customized Pegg Jet. His mission: to prevent the destruction of all life on earth.

A hilarious and brilliantly crafted graphic novel featuring the escapades of Simon Pegg, a ruggedly handsome superhero (with a body a bit like Brad Pitt's from Fight Club and an almost constant thirst for Coke Zero) and his ever faithful robotic manservant, Canterbury, as they fight to stop the world from exploding. Will they get to Hendon in time to stop evil criminal Lord Black from carrying out his plan to fire his ancient Egyptian laser beam into the sun? Will Simon finally capture the heart of flame haired French cat burglar, The Scarlet Panther? And, perhaps most importantly, will Canterbury manage to provide appropriate refreshments for all visiting guests/informants? There's only one way to find out…
