Dynamite Entertainment has announced that the writer will return to the iconic character for both a new miniseries “Shaft: Imitation of Life,” illustrated by Dietrich Smith and a prose novel, “Shaft’s Revenge.” Both are expected to debut in February 2016, releasing during Black History Month.
The official description of “Imitation of Life” follows: “After a high-profile case puts him in the headlines, private detective John Shaft searches for something low-profile to keep him out of the spotlight and out of danger… and takes a missing person case that proves to be more difficult than he thought. At the same time, he is hired to be a consultant on a low budget film that may or may not be based on his life, and proves to be as dangerous as any job he’s ever had. But when there’s danger about, John Shaft won’t cop out – even if it means squaring off against sadisticgangsters that want him dead.”
