roman comic books - Goffredo - 12-11-2001
Hi, I was in a good book shop the other day and came across a series of "comic book"s by fancy and talented artists. Most were Science Fiction and Fantasy with some pseudo-medieval stuff. Of course there was the usual erotic art too. The Fantasy/Medieval stuff triggered a memory of mine. I remembered seeing some time back a comic book based in Northern Italy during Roman expansion against Gauls. The gaulic settings, costumes and warriors were well drawn (at least from what I, ignorant, can tell) but the romans were terrible (e.g. Hollywood-like officer helmets and lorica segmentata three centuries before Christ; maybe that is why I forgot about that comic book). The question is: does anyone know of good roman based comic stories? This could be a good alternative to movies. There could be a market for well documented and correctly drawn stories based in roman-barbarian scenarios. <p></p><i></i>

Funny coincidence that you're name happens to be "WowComics", and you popped up here like this...in this thread.<br>
<br>
Did you do a search on "comics", and this came up as a result?<br>
<br>
If you really are interested in ancient Rome, please stick around. <p><BR><p align=left><font color=gold><font size=2>

Now, now, fellows... let's give Wow the benefit of the doubt... but please all, no advertising unless it's Roman in nature. I'll permit this one once, since it furthers those who might want to find historical comics.<br>
