Damon Lindelof, co-creator of the hit ABC TV series Lost, told SCI FI Wire that a comic-book version of the show maybe a long while in coming. "We've been trying to do a Lost comic book since the show's inception," Lindelof said in an interview. "It's just a matter of figuring out what the comic book is going to be. We don't want the comic book to function outside the mythology of the show. We wouldn't want the comic book to give people more insight into the show and its characters than the average viewer would have."
Lindelof, who is currently writing Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk for Marvel Comics, said that the big stumbling block to the Lost comic book is how to tell stories about the island without using the characters that are currently on the show. "My guess is that if there is a Lost comic book, it will be an outside-the-box idea," he said. "We've been talking about variations on the backstories as one possible way of doing it. Something along the lines of the French woman's team coming to the island; something that would not bump into what's going on with the show."
Lindelof offers that while decisions about things like comic books are ultimately handled by the network and the studio, which own the show, he would love to be involved in a Lost comic book if it happens. "I would love to do a Lost comic, but it would be tough. Ideas for the show are so hard to come by that any ideas I got for the comics, I would automatically want to put them on the show."
