"Rostam
tales from the Shahnameh" is the latest hyperwerks project.
Adapted from the rich verse of Ferdowsi the famous Persian poet,
the epic tales of valour, bravery, and devotion are for the first
time adpated to the American comic genre.
Rostam
is the hero-champion of a mythical land of Iran. Dedicated to
protecting her throne from all invaders and usurpers. Rostam faces
outer threats as well as his own inner demons, a glimpse of our
own humanity.
In
the first installment in what we hope will be a long lasting series,
Rostam must face the newest threat to the throne of Iran, the mighty
and younger Sohrab.
Hand
drawn and meticulously inked, this book has been in development
for over 5 years. Every detail, including weaponry, architecture,
and clothing was inspired by original Persian culture and created
especially to compliment the rich storyline. A tribute we hope
is befitting the spirit of The Shahnameh or "The Book of Kings". |
