Mechner, McFarlane team for Prince of Persia graphic novel photo

Put Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner and comic legend Todd McFarlane in a room, and what do you get? A Prince of Persia book with pretty pictures, also known as graphic novel, of course!

Published by Disney Book Group, the 128-page graphic novel will feature six original stories written by Mechner. The collection will act as a sequel to the upcoming Jerry Bruckheimer film, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, and will hopefully use a better font. The book will be published as a limited 125,000 print run in April 2010, not long after the film’s May 28 release.

Mechner and McFarlane (along with Bernard Chang, Tommy Lee Edwards, and Cameron Stewart) will go into more detail at a San Diego Comic-Con panel on July 24.

I always wanted to see a dark and gritty Prince with overly-stylized vein texture and fucked anatomy. Thanks for making comics awesome, Todd.

I want to see a comic of the Prince dicking around with time travel using the sands of time.

McFarlane is actually going to draw something again? I bet he just ends up having Greg Capullo do it.

The last PoP comic was great. I hope they don't screw this up.

I fucking hate McFarlane and all he has come to represent in the past 10-12 years but if he's returning to his roots, I'd be willing to take a look to see if it's a chance for redemption or a continuation of the downward sell-out spiral.

Pacopaco I have to agree.
He sold out long ago and it seriously hurt his business.
He's like Rob Liefeld who shows up now and then, but no one really cares anymore.
