Graphic Novel Kickstarter "Kristo" (Count of Monte Cristo/Stalinist Russia)

[Groo The Perverted]

NOTE: I am not affiliated with this in any way aside from being a backer.

This is a really cool kickstarter for a graphic novel called "Kristo" which reimagines Alexandre Dumas' classic The Count of Monte Cristo in Stalinist Russia.

Right now it's got around 2 weeks left and it's a bit away from the goal. If any of you are able, perhaps consider pledging to back this. It's a really cool project and I'm anxious to see this succeed, as The Count of Monte Cristo is my all time favorite story.

What is Kristo about?

A story of how a Cossack officer was betrayed and incarcerated for twenty years by his three closest friends, how he assumed another man's identity to escape and then took his final, bloody revenge.

Who is making Kristo?

Iconic artist Alex Sheikman and allegorical writer Sam Roads are assigned to this investigation, and will be delivering their final report to the authorities in the form of a 50 page graphic novel.

They have requisitioned the support of colourist Kris Carter (Transformers, Dr. Who) and editor Yannick Morin (Epic Kill), both given full AAA clearance by the Commissariat of the Socialist Peoples of Russia.

Alex is the writer/artist on the creator owned projects "Moonstruck" and "Robotika". He has also recently contributed artwork to "Dark Crystal: Creation Myths", "Outlaw Territory", "Legends of Mouse Guard", and "A1 Annual". He lives and works in Northern California.

Sam's background is in gaming, winning two Origins awards (the unplugged gaming 'Oscars') for "The One Ring" and "Kin-strife". He lives and works in Cardiff, Wales.
