FINALLY A SIXTH SEASON, SORT OF

six_million_dollar_man comic

(The Hollywood Reporter) – NBC’s The Six Million Dollar Man has been
off the air since 1978, but fans who have spent the last three and a half
decades wishing for a sixth season of the Lee Majors-starring drama will
finally see their dream come true — kind of — next year when Dynamite
Entertainment launches The Six Million Dollar Man: Season 6.

The monthly comic book picks up the continuity of the original television
series from the end of the fifth and final season, with writer James Kuhoric
promising to "bring back all the things that made it special to me back in
the day." Amongst those things, Kuhoric said, are the show’s trademark
slow motion effect sequences. He said "We went out of our way to use
the ‘Kung Fu Slow Motion’, the sound effects, and all the oddities of that
era so the comic book would feel like the original TV series.”

The Six Million Dollar Man: Season 6 will be released in comic book stores
and digitally in February 2014, in time for the series’ 40th anniversary year
(It debuted on NBC January 18, 1974).
