The shareware side-scroller INTERPOSE is being made into a comic book!

I'm not involved with this but thought you'd like to know.
The kickstarter is live!
Again, I'm not involved with the project other than being a backer (and cosplaying as the overlynx!), but I would really love this to get funded.

How did I miss this? So it looks the comic is made by the original author of the game? Are they going to actually re-release it, ported or in DOSBox?
As I understand it, Twilight Zone (the original authors, Morten, Markus & Lars) licensed the Interpose game and setting to Games We Played / Ben Slabak. I think Ben did write the comic and GWP hired two artists for that kickstarter comic
There is a separate GWP kickstarter for a rerelease of Interpose in a big box, alongside Inner Worlds, Yendorian Tales, Slicks & Slide and Assault Trooper that isn't active yet. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gameswep … s-new-big-boxes
(Afaict Interpose was originally pressed cdrom only with no manual or box? It also had a digital download release with no 3d cutscenes.)
Ben Slabak founded Australian software publisher Spectrum Pacific. I believe that SP acted as Webfoot's distributor in Australia, like how when you see the Epic MegaGames catalogues there are lots of country specific worldwide agents.
