To Titus Cincinnatus:
Well I'll be, I'm working on a graphic novel about the life of a gladiator from early-mid first century AD myself. The first chapter (25 pages) is aleady penciled in and waiting to be inked and lettered. I would love to see some of your work, maybe we can bounce ideas off each other. The protagonist of my little opus is a German captured along the Rhine frontier during a skirmish in Caligula's reign. The story arc will carry well into the reign of Claudius, probably ending just before Nero. This way i can incorporate a wide variety of gladiator classes as characters. The 'hero' will be trained as a myrmillo, then as a secutor, giving him a chance to fight thraces, hoplomachii, and retiarii in the arena.
