Sam And Max creator Steve Purcell talks about the upcoming game revival of his classic comic book characters.Sam and Max.

It's a tale of a dog with a big gun, a rabbit, and their wacky adventures as "freelance police" that began with an independent comic book by writer-artist Steve Purcell and morphed into a series of comics, a Saturday morning TV series and most famously as one of the most acclaimed and remembered adventure games from publisher LucasArts in the 1990's. Two attempts to revive Sam and Max in games have failed; once as a project with developer Infinite Machine that stopped when the company shut down and the other as a full-fledged LucasArts sequel that was cancelled. Now Telltale Games, made up of former LucasArts members, are finally getting the ball rolling on the game with Purcell's involvement. Gamecloud got a chance to chat with Purcell himself about Sam and Max in general and the new game revival.
