Issue 5 :: Winter 2009 (comics)

Joseph Calabrese is a freelance screenwriter. He was one of the winners at Slamdance Film Festival in 2004 for his religious thriller Second Coming and, as a result, has received interest from several producers. His action fantasy script The Eyes of Mara has recently been adapted into a graphic novel entitled Her Majesty's Bulldog Brigade, with art by Harsho Mohan Chattoraj and Brendan Keough, published by Chimaera Comics. The "Gunga Din" short comic is a spinoff from that project and features characters found in HMBB. Visit bulldogbrigade.com for more info on the project.
