The military magazine Soldier of Fortune has teamed up with American comic book publisher Bluewater Productions to launch a new fictional adventure series called Soldier of Fortune Presents: Stealth.
With superhero soldiers such as Captain America and G.I. Joe making the leap from comics to the big screen - and a Sgt Rock adaptation also on the way - the two publishers hope to add to that long and distinguished legacy. And there's already talk of turning the comic into a TV series.
The new action-adventure comic, which is scheduled to debut in June, is written by best-selling author Marc Shapiro and drawn by Steven Black.
It centres on a fictional secret special ops team hired by the government to do the jobs that the military is unable to undertake, for practical or political reasons.
"Finally a real adventure graphic novel for real men," said Lt. Col. Robert K.

A CAN$150 million ($101 million) studio complex to be built here by a consortium that includes Britain's Pinewood Shepperton Studios will not go ahead after all, it was announced Thursday. "Without the commercial tenancies which were anticipated and the credit support needed to finance this specific transaction, we are left with a project that is not compatible with our investment profile," Steven Black of Sequence Development Group, the San Diego property developer, said in a statement late Thursday.
