The Arthurian legend as retold in the American Old West, with all of its great symbolism, magic and spirit of adventure. The Knights of the Round Table are all gunslingers bound by a code of honor to protect the weak and defend the innocent until they are undone from within by their own moral corruption. In this tale, Caliber itself is a tattooed six-gun, given to Arthur by the Indians and imbued with supernatural power. The secret of the gun is that it is never loaded with bullets, but when a man with Justice on his side is holding it, it can fire. When it does, it fires Thunder itself and never misses.
Genre: Mythical Western; Fantasy Comic Book Release: May 2008

Not a regular cowboy is for sure! Interesting NEW idea they've got there. I'm not sure if I've go this idea right or not.
So Arthur is the name of the cowboy. Indians gave Arthur a gun named Calibur. Calibur, the gun, has tattoos, and it shoots only as necessary at amoral people?

Depp and IN already purchased the rights to graphic novel series REX MUNDI and now his friend and IN officer Sam Sarkar is writing this graphic novel, CALIBER.
Yup....that's it alright!

I imagine this will be better than Rex. I found the Rex Mundi story a bit difficult, a little too deep in the Grail quest for my knowledge base. Corrupt Knights of the Round Table sounds more eaily pallitable. Maybe even Funny, in a black humor sort of way. Cowboy kills Crooked politicians. What stops cowboy from pointing gun at everyone? Just to check, eh?
Hesitating, but I guess I'll be purchasing a Graphic Novel in the near future too. I find them kind of expensive though. One must really stop and look at the graphic flowers during the read. I sure hope our Cowboy resembles someone I know and love!

Definitely not your every day wrangler there! What a great idea for a story though! Rex was the first graphic novel I ever read and surprisingly, I really enjoyed it! This one looks to be just as interesting!

Here's another article from last July that not only mentions "Caliber" but that IN already has their hands on it. Not surprising...
FULL ARTICLE Intandem has Radical idea for content By Stuart Kemp
July 17, 2007
LONDON -- U.K.-based sales, production and finance house Intandem, listed here on the Alternative Investment Market, is embarking on a corporate strategy lifted straight out the pages of a comic book.
Radical's slate also includes Sam Sarkar's comic creation "Caliber," which is being produced with Infinitum Nihil, Terrance Chang and John Woo for Lionrock Prods., with Woo attached to direct.
