Silent Devil presents a new take on
the Greek classic Antigone
Silent Devil presents Antigone, a 32-page black and white one-shot by writer
David Hopkins and artist Tom Kurzanski. The creative team won accolades
for last year's mini-series Karma Incorporated, published by Viper Comics.
Antigone is based directly off Sophocles' play of the same title. In
the story, Antigone stands against King Creon for the right to bury her dead brother.
This new version of the Oedipus trilogy is a Goth fantasy, mixing ancient and
modern -- a dark, twisted, and distorted perspective, playfully
obscure.
"My previous works, Karma Incorporated and
Emily Edison, all dealt with the same theme of dysfunctional families,"
explains David Hopkins. "Antigone would be the epitome of this subject
matter. I'm really interested in the 'house drama' as the starting point for
all my stories."
Antigone will feature an epilogue by Aaron Thomas Nelson, an expert on Ancient
Greek Literature. The book will be available for pre-order in the August
edition of Diamond Previews and will hit store shelves this fall.
