NBC is getting graphic. Deadline reports the network is developing Hawaiian Dick, an action comedy noir based on the graphic novel series.

Jackass‘ Johnny Knoxville is attached as a producer.

Created by B. Clay Moore and Steven Griffin, Hawaiian Dick follows Byrd, a cop who gets involved in the crime and supernatural world of 1950s Hawaii.

Initially, New Line Cinema was developing the comic for a feature film starring Knoxville, but the project never took off.

Paul Lovett and David Elliot are writing the script for the TV adaptation.

What do you think? Have you read Hawaiian Dick the comic? Are you interested in a TV series?
