Marvel Entertainment and ABC Studios are proud to announce Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm, an all-new hardcover graphic novel inspired by the popular Castle television series. This 112 page hardcover hits comic shops and bookstores everywhere on September 28th, 2011.

When viewers first met Richard Castle, he had reached celebrity author status with the success of his Derrick Storm mystery novels. In an unprecedented collaborative effort between Marvel, ABC Studios and the producers of Castle, the adventures of Derrick Storm will be chronicled in an all new graphic novel from some of the most accomplished creators in the industry.

"I am honored and humbled to see Derrick Storm join the ranks of some of the greatest heroes of all-time," said Richard Castle. "Being a part of the Marvel family is a childhood fantasy come true for me."

The release of Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm marks the first adaptation, in any medium, of the Derrick Storm novels by New York Times best-selling author Richard Castle.

"It's exciting to bring the Derrick Storm novels to life for the first time ever" said Axel Alonso, Marvel Entertainment Editor in Chief. "Whether you're new to the world of 'Castle' or a long time fan, there's something for everyone in Castle: Richard Castle's Deadly Storm - and it's the kind of book that reaffirms Marvel's commitment to creating new fans of comic books."


Castle stars Nathan Fillion as Richard Castle, Stana Katic as NYPD Detective Kate Beckett, Susan Sullivan as Martha Rodgers, Molly Quinn as Alexis Castle, Ruben Santiago-Hudson as NYPD Captain Roy Montgomery, Tamala Jones as Medical Examiner Lanie Parish, Jon Huertas as NYPD Detective Javier Esposito, and Seamus Dever as NYPD Detective Kevin Ryan.
