AND NOW, from the duo who brought you the satirical guide to love, “Just the Tips,” a new deal that suggests Universal TV is ready, somehow, to sex you up.
Yep, Uni TV has signed on to develop the acclaimed Image Comic series “Sex Criminals,” by Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky, for a screen near you.
“I’m super-excited for this deal,” Zdarsky told The Post’s Comic Riffs, “and look forward to having real people simulate the semi-erotic things that Matt and I depict in the book.
“But no matter how exciting this is,” the Canadian artist continued, deadpan, “I will never forget or ignore my true passion: dance.”
The “Sex Criminals” adaptation is part of a two-year deal that Fraction and his marital co-superpower of a comics-maker, Kelly Sue DeConnick, inked with Universal to adapt their stories, both published and original.
The trophy case for “Sex Criminals” — centering on the exploits of a librarian and her actor partner — includes Eisner and Harvey awards.
Besides his embarrassment of great Image and Marvel titles, Fraction consulted on “Iron Man 2″ and wrote an episode of FX’s “Archer.”
The Eisner-nominated DeConnick (Captain Marvel, Bitch Planet) is the first woman to write an Avengers run.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
