Before Devil’s Due: Broken Glass Studios

So I have a of theme going on right now about the “What might have beens” of the Voltron universe. The franchise’s history is littered with unrealized projects or ones that changed direction some point in development, which is probably inevitable due all the various Voltron retellings and the franchise’s age. With that said, today we’re going to look at what’s possibly one of the most obscure bits of Voltron history I know.

It’s commonly known that Devil Due’s published a short lived Voltron comic book series in 2003-2004. However, a few years prior, around 2000 or so, WEP had given the licence to a small indie comic book company called Broken Glass Studios. The about page from their long since defunct website had this to say about the company:

Broken Glass Studios (BGS) was formed by Keith Newsome, Shawn Prince and Jamie Snell during Wizard magazine's WizardWorld comic book convention in the summer of '98. It was formed as an alliance between 3 comic book fans to create and publish independent comic books.

Jamie Snell, one of the company’s founders and artist, mentioned in an interview that Broken Glass had yet to publish a single title when they were approached about creating a Voltron comic book, which was to be titled Voltron: Legends. Now, if you’re wondering how a tiny company with no publication history got a hold of the Voltron licence, never fear, because in the above interview Snell explains: 

VE: Yes. how did you decide to do a Voltron Comic book?

Jamie: Well the Voltron fell in out lap. Bradford Licensing came to us with it. They found our website and approached us to do the book. Bradford Licensing is a company that WEP uses to distribute out license for certain things, publications, gifts, novelties, etc.

VE: That was a lucky break. What was it like suddenly having a license just fall into your lap like that?

Jamie: We were skeptical at first. Made sure we did some research on them. It was legit. We gave them a proposal and they accepted it and forwarded it on to WEP

Broken Glass did release a few promotional images for the comic. However, since this was nearly 20 years ago and most of these images were hosted on sites that no longer exist, I was only able to find the picture of Prince Lotor drawn by Jamie Snell.

I don’t know why WEP decided to go with Devil’s Due instead of Broken Glass Studios. While I don’t recall an explanation ever being given, it’s possible that information is simply long gone and I don’t remember it.
