Predator: The Original Screenplay was a cancelled five-issue comic book adaptation of James and John Thomas' original script for Predator that was to be published by Dark Horse Comics from June-October 2020. It was to have been written by Jeremy Barlow, based on the original screenplay by James and John Thomas, pencilled by Patrick Blaine, inked by Andy Owens, and colored by Candice Han, with cover art by Diego Galindo. Variant cover art would have been provided by Marc Borstelmann.
The series was cancelled as a result of the license to produce Predator comics moving to Marvel Comics from Dark Horse.[1]
Had it been published, Predator: The Original Screenplay would have been preceded by Predator: Hunters III.
