There was some interest in developing The Invisibles for TV from BBC Scotland years ago, but nothing ever came of it. A redheaded witch sent back from the future with nanomachines in her blood. The Invisibles launched on Vertigo back in 1994, and follows a cell of ‘The Invisible College’, a secret group that battles oppression using time travel, magic, meditation, and good old fashioned ultraviolence, which ticks a lot of boxes on our list of things we want in a TV show. Writer Grant Morrison is known for his innovative work on comics from the graphic novel Arkham Asylum to acclaimed runs on Animal Man and Doom Patrol, as well as his subversive creator-owned titles such as The Invisibles, Seaguy, and WE3. A bald, leather-clad horror novelist who’s also a deadly assassin, now grown weary of killing. Elfayed holds a mummified scarab in his hand and talks to KM about beginnings and cycles. King Mob is a man with a shaved bald head and lots of piercings, while Elfayed is an Arabic man dressed in a white suit and a black tie. The comic is set in 2020, which’ll make the new TV project pretty damn timely, as we’re unlikely to see it premiere until then. In the shadows of the Egyptian pyramids, King Mob sits talking to Elfayed.
