Pitch Black: Slam City

Pitch Black: Slam City is a short flash comic prequel to Pitch Black available for download at the Pitch Black website created by animator Brian Murray with David Twohy. Slam City is in the form of a recreation of an official, confidential prison record detailing Riddick’s arrival and escape from the Ursa Luna Penal Facility aka. “Slam city“, in eleven hours twenty-two minutes. Notably, it shows Riddick undergoing the surgery that gives him “eyeshine“ -- the ability to see in the dark -- and paying for this with a pack of Kool cigarettes as mentioned in Pitch Black. William J. Johns is seen at the end of the movie and is charged with capturing Riddick.
