Outremer: The Saga of the Knights Templar

Outremer: The Saga of the Knights Templar is a project near and dear to my heart.

Being a long-time comic fan, I decided that the story of the Knights Templar was every bit as heroic and epic as the best comics on the market.


Sure, I could tell the story, but I certainly couldn't draw it. That's when Edmonton artist Bob Prodor was brought on board to add his art to the script.


The resulting combination will be a four issue story arc that will tell the story of the Templars' origins in words and pictures.


Although the story has some fictional elements to it, the background is solid in its history and Prodor has taken great pains to produce a visually appealing and historically accurate treatment of the proto-Templars and the world in which they lived.


The final pen and ink work was completed in July of 2008 and has now entered the coloring phase, with the hopes of a fall 2008 release for the first issue.


The first 1,000 copies will be signed and numbered and can be ordered in the Templar Store on this web site.
