Three years in the making, Dark Horse announced today that “Serenity: The Shepherd’s Tale” will dock in stores this November. An original hardcover graphic novel co-written by series creator Joss Whedon and his brother, “Terminator” and “Dr. Horrible” writer Zack Whedon, and illustrated by Chris Samnee, “The Shepherd’s Tale” will reveal the intricate backstory of Derrial “Shepherd” Book, the soft-spoken preacher with a dark past.

Shepherd Book, played by Ron Glass on both the television series “Firefly” and the subsequent film “Serenity” was presented to fans as a man of faith who frequently clashed with Mal Reynolds, captain of the Serenity space vessel upon which Book found himself a resident. The Shepherd, though - in the series, a synonym for preacher or priest - displayed formidable martial arts training unbecoming of his profession and appeared to hold some authority with the Alliance, the galactic government against which the Serenity’s crew once fought a losing war.

CBR News spoke with Chris Samnee, artist of “The Shepherd’s Tale,” and editor Scott Allie about the graphic novel and the future of “Serenity.”
