Sony Pictures has acquired the
rights to adapt World War Z author Max Brooks’ upcoming graphic novel, The
Harlem Hellfighters. The graphic novel was illustrated by Caanan White and will
hit the shelves next month.
"In 1919, the 369th infantry
regiment marched triumphantly home from World War 1. They had spent more time
in combat than any other American unit, never losing a foot of ground to the
enemy, or a man to capture, and winning countless decorations. Though they
returned as heroes, this African American unit faced tremendous discrimination,
even from their own government. The Harlem Hellfighters, as the Germans called
them, fought courageously on—and off—the battlefield to make Europe, and
America, safe for democracy.
In "The Harlem
Hellfighters," bestselling author Max Brooks and acclaimed illustrator
Caanan White bring this history to life. From the enlistment lines in Harlem to
the training camp at Spartanburg, South Carolina, to the trenches in France,
they tell the heroic story of the 369th in an action packed and powerful tale
of honor and heart."
