"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
My Waiting on Wednesday:
Templar by Jordan Mechner, LeUyen Pham , Alex Puvilland (Illustrations)
To Be Released on July 9, 2013 by First Second Books
Martin is one of a handful of Templar Knights to escape when the king of France and the pope conspire to destroy the noble order. The pope and king aim to frame the Templars for heresy, execute all of them, and make off with their legendary treasure. That's the plan, anyway, but Martin and several other surviving knights mount a counter-campaign to regain the lost treasure of the Knights Templar.
With gorgeous illustrations by LeUyen Pham and Alexander Puvilland and lush coloring from Hilary Sycamore, this 480-page, full-color, hardcover graphic novel by Jordan Mechner is itself a treasure.
Why am I waiting? Because I've just realized how wonderful graphic novels really are. Plus this is a historical fiction graphic novel.
That sounds interesting. A fascinating story those Knights Templar. I must look out for this. Thanks for the recommend. You can find my WOW at:
