Max Brooks - Harlem Hellfighters (1 Viewer)

I just ran across a review of Max Brook's graphic novel on the Harlem Hellfighters. It'll be interesting to see if a graphic novel can reach a wider audience with the story!

I just ordered it.

Whether the book reaches a larger audience I don't know, but seeing as they made world war z into a movie, I can totally see hollywood taking this one too and running with it!

There is actually an article on this book in Entertainment Weekly this week that I just read. It has already been optioned to Sony for a movie, produced by Will Smith. Not definitely going to be made, but they have the rights to it.

Max Brooks proposed it as a movie a few years ago and everyone passed on it. Now that he made the book, people are interested! Weird
