San Diego, CA (January 14, 2019) \u2014\u00a0IDW<\/strong>\u00a0Publishing<\/strong>\u00a0proudly presents\u00a0Sons of Chaos<\/em><\/strong>, a lavishly illustrated graphic novel written by\u00a0Chris Jaymes<\/strong>\u00a0and illustrated by\u00a0Ale Aragon<\/strong>. Slated for release in June 2019, this oversized hardcover relates the real-life, heartrending story of the war that quietly shaped Western civilization.<\/p>\n

Sons of Chaos<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 with its nearly 200 pages and measuring 13.5\u201d by 10.5\u201d \u2013 provides an immersive, panoramic experience for readers, harkening them back to the Mediterranean shores of 1821, where Marcos Botsaris, a child raised within the dungeons of an Ottoman Pasha, escapes captivity, falls in love, and fiercely leads Greece to bloody revolution.<\/p>\n

Writer Chris Jaymes says, \u201cNearly a decade of work has gone into creating\u00a0Sons of Chaos<\/em>, and the masterfully gifted, international individuals involved have created an experience that I\u2019m eternally blessed to be a part of. It\u2019s epic, it\u2019s vulnerable, it\u2019s vicious… and it brings pivotal events from our recent past to light, exposing the circumstances responsible for shaping our present-day conflicts.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSons of Chaos<\/em>\u00a0brings the real-life history of the Greek War of Independence to the comics page in a thrilling, ‘sword and shooter\u2019 epic that marries Mediterranean history with the sensibilities of\u00a0Game of Thrones<\/em>,\u201d says\u00a0Justin Eisinger<\/strong>, Editorial Director of Graphic Novels & Collections for IDW Publishing. \u201cLike me, many readers will find themselves considering this 19th Century war for the first time!”<\/p>\n

The Greek Revolution, fought during the pinnacle of the Romantic Period, drew impassioned fighters from throughout the world (commoners and celebrities alike) to the battlefield. The war shattered the Ottoman Empire and, even as we now approach its 200th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary, its lingering tensions yet plague the Eastern and Western worlds.<\/p>\n

Sons of Chaos<\/em>\u00a0is now available for pre-order via online booksellers and comic book specialty retailers.<\/p>\n
