Comic Book!

It has been decided! LCL will release a new graphic version of Secret of the Amazon Queen. We tried this before a few years ago with another company, but I honestly wasn't crazy about the style. With the movie developing along, I decided it is time to present the novel in a visual form once again, to whet your appetites. The Secret of the Amazon Queen comic will feature the art of Yanis Mario Zambeis and the writing of E.A.Guest. It will be a six-issue presentation and follow the plot of the novel, with some revisions inspired by the screenplay. That means fans of the original story will finally see it faithfully visualized while also having some unexpected little touches to keep it fresh. We are just starting this project so I'm going to tentatively choose Thanksgiving as the release date for the first issue. More to follow...

Met with Yanis again. I'm providing him with the character guidelines and will be polishing up the script for the comic over the next week or so. The graphic version will tell the story of the novel with a few touches from the film script that will be shot. Think of the comic as the bridge between the two, with emphasis on the original novel...
