PEOPLE
IN THE NEWS:
Al Rosenberg (1981) has been made into a cartoon character in books 2
& 3 of “The Villikon Chronicles,” the hot new sci-fi series by
Young-Kinnaird Productions. The
graphic novels (i.e. super comic book) is based upon an award-winning
screen play, written by Bryan Kinnaird.
The story was adapted to comic form (very high tech) by award
winning artist Roy Young (“Spawn,” “Purgatory,” “Ladydeath,”
“Evil Ernie,” the WWF Series, and many more).
The big screen live action version is expected to begin filming
during the summer of 2002.
Copies
of Villikon Chronicles (a 9 book series) can be picked up at most comic
book shops & conventions in the USA, Canada, and England.
But hurry, shops sell out fast.
A
photo cell of page 38, book 2 of Al Rosenberg as Jacob Rezectar can be
viewed online at the “People in the News” section.
