Skarr Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 I'm involved with another writer, who's developing a script for a graphic novel / series about Caesar's beloved Xth Legion. Caesar / Pompey and the Xth will figure prominently in this, which will follow the life of an ordinary soldier in the Xth and his family, split between his father / brother, who fight with Pompey against him. It will primarily be a dramatic story with this backdrop as the familial saga unfolds over a series of graphic novels. We are developing a pilot / pitch for this project, once the script is completed and are looking for an artist to collaborate / develop 10 panels which will be part of our pitch. We will provide everything in terms of what exactly each of the panels should depict and even provide stock photos, drawings etc. of what a soldier should look like, buildings etc. etc. to aid the artist. In case any artist is interested in collaborating, please let me know. The understanding is that we will get some funding if our pitch is successful for actual production of the pilot which will be marketed widely. In fact, one of the ideas we have is to market this at various colleges / schools so that students can learn history visually as opposed to reading a dry text. Our aim is to get as much historical accuracy as possible in our scripts / text with some dramatic incidents to make it interesting and educational.
