Jeremiah is a TV-series, loosely based on Belgian writer Hermann Huppen's comic book of the same name (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremiah_%28comic%29). Beside the names of the main characters, there is no similarity between the comics and the series. The show was produced and written by J. Michael Straczynski (creator of Babylon 5) and Sam Egan.
