Dynamite Entertainment announces that they are bringing The Bionic Man and The Bionic Woman to life as their own comic book series. Licensed by NBC Universal Television Consumer Products Group, the projects are being helmed by the creative team that brought the Green Hornet series to fans; Kevin Smith, as well as Phil Hester, Jonathan Lau, and Alex Ross on covers.

"True story: when I turned in a script for The Six Million Dollar Man back in '98, there was an exec who dismissed it as being more like a comic book than a movie," said film director and writer Kevin Smith. "It's an honor to head back into the trenches with the same creative team at Dynamite that made my Green Hornet script so readable and fun. It makes me moist."

The Bionic Man is based on the Universal Television Series The Six Million Dollar Man. The Six Million Dollar Man is an American television series about a former astronaut with bionic prosthetics working for the OSI. It aired on the ABC network as a regular series from 1974 to 1978, following three television movies aired in 1973. A spin-off of the show was produced, The Bionic Woman, as well as several television movies featuring both characters.

Fans can look forward to The Bionic Man comic series to launch in August 2011 with The Bionic Woman to debut in 2012.
