The as-yet-unnamed series will be written by writers from the Showtime drama.

The supernatural struggle for the heart of Victorian England will expand in scope next year, with Titan Comics securing a deal to produce comic books based on Showtime's popular Penny Dreadful, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

The first comic book series based on the show is currently scheduled for a spring 2016 release and will be written by Penny Dreadful scriptwriters Chris King, Krysty Wilson-Cairns and Andrew Hinderaker. Art for the series will come from Heavy Metal's Louie De Martinis.
