Originally inspired by Matheson's horror classic DUEL, King and Hill's THROTTLE tells the story of a motorcycle gang pursued by an unseen assailant in a big rig, but as might be expected knowing the talent involved, things aren’t exactly as they seem.
The project will be a monthly two-part series beginning with the release of THROTTLE in February, followed by two issues adapting DUEL, beginning in April.
In a recent statement released by IDW, Joe Hill described the idea behind adapting his and King's collaboration to comic book form, “THROTTLE is a story that really begs for a visual adaptation: it’s got bikes and badasses and lots of expensive rolling iron blowing up and getting smashed.” In the same statement Hill also went on to comment excitedly, “Who doesn't get off on that? I can’t wait to see IDW get behind the wheel and take the thing out for a spin.”
Stephen King, no stranger to collaborations, spoke briefly about taking on a new project with his independently successful and popular son Joe Hill, “Working with the great Joe Hill (I can say that because he’s my kid) on such a kick-ass story was a terrific treat, and this version takes it to whole new level,” said King. “Rev up and climb on!”
ROAD RAGE: THROTTLE will be released in February and March, with ROAD RAGE: DUEL to follow in April and May.
