Demons, magicians and high
adventure await fantasy and comic fans alike as top author Jonathan Stroud visits
the MCM Expo London Comic Con to give us the inside scoop on the series’
stunning adaptation as a graphic novel.
Best-selling author Stroud,
whose brilliant BARTIMAEUS TRILOGY has sold over six million copies worldwide,
will be hosting a panel on THE AMULET OF SAMARKAND, the first of the series to
be converted into a comic book.
Joining him on stage will
be co-author Andrew Donkin, who also collaborated on the graphic novel versions
of Eoin Colfer’s famous ARTEMIS FOWL series, and acclaimed comic book artist and
illustrator Lee Sullivan, whose work includes TRANSFORMERS, JUDGE DREDD and
DOCTOR WHO.
Set in an alternative London ruled by
demon-summoning wizards, gorgeously-illustrated THE AMULET OF SAMARKAND follows
the adventures of five-thousand-year-old djinni Bartimaeus and his human master
Nathaniel as they seek vengeance on cruel magician Simon Lovelace by stealing
his most powerful possession – the fabled Amulet of Samarkand.
Stroud, Donkin and
Sullivan will be hosting the AMULET OF SAMARKAND graphic novel panel, signing
autographs and meeting fans on Saturday 28 May, the second day of the
action-packed MCM Expo London Comic Con.
