French Foreign Legion graphic novel - free to read online
« on: May 07, 2012, 11:42:58 PM »
Hey, everybody.  I just launched a new website for my graphic novel series (historical adventure, all different time periods) and have put one of the books up to read in its entirety online for the next month.  It's called Crogan's March, and it's a foreign legion story set in 1912.  In book form, it's 208 pages long.

Click here to go to it: http://croganadventures.blogspot.com/p/about-books.html. It's the second book down.


a panel from the book

It may give folks some character or campaign ideas, so I thought I'd post a link here.  Eventually I'll be making a papercraft Fort Mayne (the fort in the story, modeled after Zinderneuf) at around 20 or 28mm scale and put it up for print-out with the paper figure sets I already have up in the "fun stuff and activities" section.

Everyone on this board has been very helpful over the last few years with pointing me towards the right research materials necessary for the books I do, and so I'm glad to e able to make one of those books available to you guys.  Thanks!
Check out THE CROGAN ADVENTURES, a historical adventure graphic novel series available from your local bookstore or comic shop (or, of course, Amazon).  I make 'em.

Looks great  ...a bit confusing because the sergeant looks like an officer with his rank stripes so it's a bit strange ...well, I'm French...

But I like it anyway :) Good story and drawing.

Excuse my double post, but I just received the hardcover yesterday and I am impressed. Really nice looking book and a great read. Already halfway through. Great work, Schweizer!

Remington and Matakishi - thanks so much!  I'm glad you like 'em. 

The new one has a tramp steamer in Warlord Era China, so I'm having a lot of fun doing the development for that particular project.
