His comic series, "The Looking Glass Wars: Hatter M" ties-in with his celebrated "Looking Glass Wars" novel which is based on the Alice in Wonderland story from Lewis Carroll…or is it?

For those unfamiliar with the first book of the Looking Glass Wars trilogy, the bigger story reveals the true history of Wonderland based upon a stunning discovery which unmasked the ultimate literary lie, a twisted fabrication that had existed for nearly 150 years. While universally accepted that Lewis Carroll was inspired to write his classic children's books to entertain 7-year-old Alice Liddell it is far from true. Lewis Carroll did not tell Alice Liddell the story of Wonderland, she told him! Alice was not born into the Liddell family, she was adopted. Her true identity was Alyss Heart, the future Queen of Wonderland. Lewis Carroll had changed everything and everyone including the identity of her royal bodyguard. Hatter M is not the story of a Mad Hatter. Hatter Madigan is an expert bladesman, a ranking High Cut of the Wonderland Millinery and not the tea guzzling madman of children's lit. Aggressively focused on the one purpose in his life, Hatter's search for Alyss commences immediately and continues incessantly leaving the whispers and totems of myth in the wake of his non-stop quest.

For Automatic Pictures, Beddor says, "one of my top film projects right now is PRETTY WICKED, a psychological murder mystery surrounding a teenage girl's obsession with power. It's basically a revenge fantasy exploring the prepotent energy of teen girls when they discover their emerging sexuality and how this power can be used for good or evil. Along with the film, I want to do a graphic novel to be able to illustrate more of the heroine's inner world of flying dreams, retribution and demon guardians."
