Purcell talks Sam & Max 27 Jun, 2006, 00:31 / 6 comments

Comic Book Resources has published a short article / interview with Steve Purcell regarding the forthcoming Sam & Max games plus other plans around the franchise;
And while fans might see the new "Sam & Max" video game and web strips as portents of things to come, Purcell reminds fans that there are no plans for a "Sam & Max" revival. "I'm not going to start doing comics for a living any time soon. I'd like to continue the web strip and collect that into a book. I'd like to someday finish the unfinished story I have in my drawer and I'd like to re-release the old comics for people who were never able to get them. If I ever did a 'Sam & Max' series again I'd only do it for an older audience. Although the show we did made the best of having to skew younger, I think 'Sam & Max' works better when they're a bit more unwholesome.

Steve will also be attending the San Diego Comic Con in July. Check the Telltale Games site for more info.

    "I think 'Sam & Max' works better when they're a bit more unwholesome."

    Precisely! Sam N Max is not very exciting when it's just being 'chaotic', it's does need a darker/more adult edge to it for it to be 100% successful. I hope the games are more adult!

    Yay for being unwholesome! Hopefully he'll get around to more comics sooner or later. *crosses fingers*e

    Does this mean we'll have Sam & Max : pr0n Freelance Police someday?

    Furries are despicable. I can't believe you went there.

    Purcell is Ultra Cool. I wouldn't expect someone working full-time at pixar to work full time on writing comic books. Fizzball for life.

    I really wish he would try to get TV show released on DVD though.

    Nice article. Also, since I don't think it merits its own post, here's another one of those semi-recent Telltale interviews: Woot.
