Lawrence Bros Go Noir in New Detective Comic
5 Oct
Summary
- Former child stars turned reluctant detectives in graphic novel.
- Story satirizes fame, identity, and pop culture absurdity.
- Novel co-written with Berkowitz Brothers, art by Sean Von Gorman.
The Lawrence Brothers, known for their roles in '90s television, have ventured into the comic world with "The Lawrence Brothers Detective Agency." This original graphic novel series sees Joey, Matt, and Andrew Lawrence reimagined as detectives facing a conspiracy that warps the essence of fame.
Set against a surreal, corrupted Hollywood, the narrative unfolds through thrilling adventures, including surviving a monster outbreak at a fan convention. The novel is described as a satirical exploration of identity, memory, and the absurdities of pop culture, drawing comparisons to "BoJack Horseman" and "Chinatown."
The graphic novel was co-created and written by the brothers alongside the Berkowitz Brothers, with art contributions from Eisner-nominated Sean Von Gorman. It humorously references their past roles in shows like "Gimme a Break!" and "Boy Meets World," while also reflecting on the current wave of '90s nostalgia.
Speaking about the project, Joey Lawrence expressed a desire to provide "absolute pure enjoyment" for fans who have supported them for years. The brothers also revealed their aspirations for an animated series adaptation, envisioning it as an adult take on "Scooby-Doo" or "The Hardy Boys."
