In April, to coincide with the bicentennial of the Anglo-American War of 1812, Renegade Arts Entertainment are publishing a graphic novel by Batman and Dredd writer Alan Grant, Claude St Aubin and Lovern Kindzierski, The Loxley's and the War of 1812.

The story follows the Loxley's, a Canadian family living in the Niagara peninsula as they're torn apart by the American invasion of Canada in 1812, and the subsequent war that raged across both countries as British troops, Canadian militia, and First Nation warriors sought to thwart the expansionist plans of the American government. The story follows the characters through key historical events as they deal with the realities of war on their doorstep, the personal loss, setbacks and victories tied into the conflict.

Grant has also written a novelised version of the story and Tab Murphy, co-writer of Gorillas In The Mist, has adapted the story into a school play and a screenplay. The comic wil be published in April. Here's an early preview.
