Egmont has bought the UK rights to publish a range of tie-ins for the Cartoon Network children’s series Generator Rex.
The deal will see it publish children’s fiction, activity books, annuals, magazines and e-books featuring the cartoon’s characters. Egmont secured the deal for an undisclosed sum from Turner CN Enterprises.
David Riley, managing director of Egmont, said: “Generator Rex is a fantastic property full of exciting stories and characters and we are looking forward to translating this wonderful show to print.”
Generator Rex is a cartoon about a 15-year-old boy with the ability to produce machines from his body, turn his fists into boulders, and sprout a jetpack out of his back. He works for the government tracking down other mutant creatures created by the same experiments that gave him his powers.
Egmont will be publishing the first of the titles in July 2011.
