As the star of CBS’s The Ghost Whisperer, Jennifer Love Hewitt’s has been featured on the cover and in the pages of IDW’s series based on the show as her character Melinda Gordon. Now she is taking her relationship with IDW Publishing and comics that much further with a new series The Music Box beginning this November.
“Jennifer created a really interesting premise for a comic book series and is carrying it through with great skill,” said IDW Publisher/Editor-in-Chief, Chris Ryall. “Each story tells a standalone tale and they are all linked together by this mysterious music box.” The ten-issue anthology series The Music Box, details a mysterious music box that causes strange occurrences for the people who possess it.

The Music Box will be co-written by Hewitt and veteran comic scribe Scott Lobdell (X-Men). Each issue will present a new story and characters as different people come into contact with the music box and have unique experiences. As each issue is an entirely new story, each will feature art tailored to that story’s premise. The first issue, debuting in November, will showcase painted art by Michael Gaydos (Alias). Subsequent issues will feature other talented artists, such as Casey Maloney (G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra), Adam Archer (Friday the 13th), as well as industry living legend, Joe Rubenstein.
“I’m really enjoying creating my very own comic. The Music Box is like a very fun nightmare,” said Hewitt. “It’s a frightening premise to have so much malevolent energy in an inanimate object, especially something that’s typically as benign as a music box. I’m so proud of The Music Box and can’t wait for people to read it.”
