In an interview with ESPN, the staff of BOOM! Studios offered details on the upcoming WWE: Undertaker graphic novel, which will be released in October. It will cover the Phenom’s entire career in the WWE. Here are highlights:

 

Editor Chris Rosa on why it’s challenging: “One of the big challenges is that he is such a unique character in the history of World Wrestling Entertainment. Even though he has gone through multiple phases, multiple looks during that career, he’s been the one constant in that universe for almost 30 years.”

 

Writer Chad Dundas on the importance of Undertaker: “Undertaker was kind of a no-brainer, because his career encompasses the three major eras of modern WWE wrestling. He’s part of the classic early 90s era, he obviously a key part of the Attitude Era and he just wrestled at WrestleMania 34. There’s no one else that really is that vital, regardless of if you’re a recent convert to professional wrestling, or you’re someone like me who’s been watching it for 30 freaking years. You know The Undertaker.”

 

Artist Rodrigo Lorenzo on capturing Undertaker for the comic: “It’s always a challenge trying to draw a comic with real people, as you have to put extra effort on the faces and the expressions so they are recognizable. Luckily, right now it’s very easy to find references and get videos and pictures.”

 

Dundas on the story: “One of the most fun parts of a project like this is getting to take those deep dives into these big relationships in the Undertaker’s career. Deep-dive into how he got hooked up with Pall Bearer. A deep-dive into his relationship with Kane. Trying to imagine what conversations between the two of them would have been like backstage after Kane debuts and the Undertaker realizes that this brother that he thought had died when he was a child, is still alive. My vision for the book is, definitely, to produce [something] that would appeal not only to the most hardcore Undertaker fan in the world, but also, maybe even, the new WWE fan who has just started watching the product. [Who] wants to find out everything that they can about this character that’s been around for such a long time. I think that, in and of itself, creates a really exciting opportunity to fill people in on the story of this guy who will, certainly, be a first ballot WWE Hall-of-Famer, when it’s all said and done.”
