Stan Lee's Graphic Novel “Romeo and Juliet: The War” Hits Best Seller List

The Fans have spoken. Comic legend Stan Lee and POW! Entertainment’s highly anticipated large coffee graphic novel book ROMEO AND JULIET: THE WAR’s nationwide debut last week hit No. 7 on the New York Times Best Sellers list on both hardcover and paperback graphic books best-seller lists. And now it's available digitally on iBooks for $9.99. It's the brainchild of Lee, Paris Kasidokostas Latsis and Terry Dougas,  who are all founders of 1821 Comics.

The book is a futuristic and stylized retelling of William Shakespeare’s classic Romeo and Juliet tale. It takes Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers and places them in the futuristic sci-fi/fantasy Empire of Verona, the most powerful territory on Earth. The MONTAGUES, powerful cyborgs made of artificial DNA, and the CAPULETS, genetically enhanced humans known for their speed and agility, worked in tandem to destroy all threats to the city. With no one left to fight, the Montagues and Capulets found themselves a new enemy: each other.

ROMEO AND JULIET: THE WAR is printed as a beautiful large coffee table book with the story re-imagined by Stan Lee and Terry Dougas, written by Max Work and artwork by Skan Srisuwan. The book is available as a hard cover collector’s edition and soft cover.
