James Watson

James got his first paying job at 17 years old working as a layout artist in television animation. In 2004, he created Atlantis Studios, a graphic arts studio specializing in adapting film properties into comic and graphic novel formats.

James has worked as lead Editor on over 240 comics and graphic novel projects. Among the notable projects include the graphic novel adaptation of The Librarian: Return to King Solomon’s Mines for Dean Devlin / Electric Entertainment, the second in the popular TNT Librarian movie series. His original comic The Adventures of Paula Peril was adapted into a six-episode live action film series.

Inspired by his childhood love of science fiction and family-friendly adventure films, James began adapting his original screenplay ‘Fallen Star’ (2019) into a multi-episode graphic novel series called The Star Runner Chronicles. This series has become extremely popular, with now over 20 comics, and six full-length books available on Amazon Kindle.

The first book in the Star Runner Chronicles was recently optioned for development into a live action feature film along with partners at Redline Entertainment. Further books in the series are being developed into a limited animated series with partners EPS Kids (UK).
