Bryan Fuller has just posted on his Twitter the above photo: our first sneak peek of the upcoming “Pushing Daisies” comic! This is just the first page. Also, keep in mind that it is an uncolored preview (although I’m liking the black and white, myself). The comic is currently seeking a new distribution, after their previous publishing company at DC folded. Hopefully we’ll see a publication date soon.

Edit: The colored page has now been posted. Enjoy!

“I would love to do a Pushing Daisies mini-series,” Bryan Fuller Says

Bryan Fuller made an appearance at WonderCon in San Francisco today. (BFO’s webmaster actually got a chance to meet him and tell him about the site. If you’re reading this: Hi, Bryan!) There, he was interviewed by AssignmentX and talked a little bit about fan favorites, “Heroes” and “Pushing Daisies.”

Bryan Fuller was both a co-executive producer and consulting producer for NBC’s HEROES during its run before moving to PUSHING DAISIES on ABC and then briefly returning to HEROES for its final year.

So does he hear about anything happening with the series either movies or otherwise?

“Nothing,” Fuller says. “I wouldn’t be surprised if they waited for a while and then they reinvented it entirely. There have been two regime changes at NBC since HEROES came out and neither of those had a vested interest in the show. I can’t imagine they would go back into the vault, but in five years, they could re-invent the premise.”

Bryan Fuller’s baby PUSHING DAISIES only lasted two seasons on ABC and one could argue at the treatment it received during that second season. However, he isn’t saying goodbye just yet and would love to have it appear on another network at some point.

“I am really emboldened by what Starz is doing with TORCHWOOD and I would love to do a PUSHING DAISIES mini-series on Starz,” Fuller says. “This would be a great way to wrap up the show properly. [We could] do six great episodes or even a PUSHING DAISIES movie. But I kind of like the idea of a Starz mini-series since they really embraced TORCHWOOD.”

There are a lot of rumors circling around the upcoming “Pushing Daisies” comic book, but how does this sound: a musical comic? Bryan Fuller mentioned to Entertainment Weekly that it may very well be released with a score. His exact words are below:

Question: Is there any news at all about the Pushing Daisies comic books? — Eric

Ausiello: Here’s an update from Bryan Fuller himself: “Issue number 1 will hopefully be out in early 2011, issue number 2 is being colored as we speak, and issue number 3 is being written. Our Emmy-award-winning composer Jim Dooley and I have been talking about giving the audience a multimedia experience with the comic—specifically a score. We have no idea whether we can actually afford to do an actual Pushing Daisies comic soundtrack (because the cast has agreed to sing songs and those licensing fees are expensive), but Jim has already started composing musical cues that we will either release officially or stream for freesies online when the comic book is published. I’ve already heard the track for Lee Pace’s cover ditty and it’s fantastic.”
