Andrew Cosby

Andrew Cosby is an American comic book creator, film producer, and screenwriter. He is the co-creator of the hit SyFy TV series Eureka, and the co-founder of Boom! Studios.

In 2005, Cosby launched BOOM! Studios, the award-winning comic book publishing company known for Pixar comics, Muppets comic books based on Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, series featuring Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 from Games Workshop, as well as 28 Days Later comic books, Die Hard comic books, and a sequential panel-to-panel graphic rendition of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.

Boom's first published comic was Zombie Tales, which Cosby created.

BOOM!'s published many adaptations of popular films. Its Planet of the Apes series of comics is the longest-running adaptation of the series, publishing more comics than Marvel (29 issues) and Malibu (50 issues).[35] BOOM!'s series include: Planet of the Apes (16 issues plus an annual, a "giant" issue, a "special" issue, and a "Spectacular"), Betrayal on the Planet of the Apes (4 issues),[36] Exile on Planet of the Apes (4 issues), and Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm (12 issues). Just before the release of Rise of the Planet of the Apes BOOM! serialized a one-shot prelude to the movie online as a free webcomic. At San Diego Comic Con International 2014, they published a one shot Dawn of the Planet of the Apes: Contagion bridging Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.[37] They are following this with a six-issue series Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in the modern movie continuity[38] as the classic movie continuity crosses over with Star Trek The Original Series in a co-publishing deal with IDW Publishing.[39]

Other film adaptations include an ongoing series based on Big Trouble In Little China[40] written by Eric Powell and John Carpenter, an Escape from New York comic book,[41] an ongoing series with Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure,[42] an eight-issue series based on Robocop[43] and 28 Days Later, bridging the story between 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later, a 12 issue series based on Clive Barker's Nightbreed,[44][45] new Hellraiser comics[46]—unlike the previous Marvel Comics series, Barker himself co-wrote the series—eight issues of Die Hard: Year One focusing on John McClane's first year as a beat cop in New York City,[47] and a film tie-in for Jennifer's Body.[citation needed]
