Putting a spin on video games we loved in younger days, Namco Bandai’s ShiftyLook.com website is reimagining many of them as high quality webcomics. In addition to ShiftyLook’s ongoing series like Sky Kid, Xevious, and Wonder Momo, they’ve embarked on an ambitious collaborative project by assembling an eclectic mix of writers and artists ranging from the up-and-coming to some of the most famous webcomics creators of all, not to mention a couple of big names from the comic book industry as well. Working alone or in teams, these creators each take turns producing self-contained stories about a specific classic game, starting with an old school favorite arcade game: Dig Dug.

Dig Dug is one of those iconic games that means a lot to retro gamers, especially those of us who grew up constantly trying to inflate many a Fygar, so we wanted to do something very special for the webcomic,” said Rob Pereyda, Producer and Editor-in-Chief of ShiftyLook for Namco Bandai Games Inc., “and I think we just might have the comics team-up of the summer and a must read for video games and webcomics fans alike.”

Take a look at these Dig Dug creators and gape in awe:

The names in bold belong to some of our artists. ShiftyLook invited Nick Langley, as the creator of Action Flick Chick Katrina Hill’s Action Chick avatar and webcomic, to join the collaboration. Nick’s having quite a year. The book Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight (which includes several illustrations by Nick) has been incredibly popular; the Dig Dug comic he put together has debuted; and in November, The Geek Handbook: Practical Skills and Advice for the Likeable Modern Geek, which he illustrated extensively, hits stores in time for Christmas.

Read his comic and give this fine young man some positive feedback on “Dig Dug: Time to Dig!”
