\nSteven E. de Souza, known for his screenwriting work on features like Die Hard<\/em> and 48 Hrs.<\/em>, is set to continuing delving into the Sheena: Queen of the Jungle<\/em> franchise with a new graphic novel deal. <\/p>\n

\n\tGungnir Books has signed a deal with de Souza for three graphic novels, The Hollywood Reporter <\/em>has learned. This includes the new Sheena<\/em> title Frostlin<\/em>e, along with the two original graphic novels Earth Patrol Tonight!<\/em> and Gulliver<\/em>. De Souza previously rebooted the Sheena<\/em> franchise with Galaxy Publishing for Dynamite Entertainment to explore the character who dates back to the 1930s.<\/p>\n

\nFrostline<\/em> will take Sheena from the jungle to a frozen winter landscape in an action-horror story. Mixing action with humor, Earth Patrol Tonight!<\/em> centers on the misguided group of astronauts behind Earth\u2019s disastrous attempt at intergalactic conflict. Additionally, Gulliver<\/em> is the working title for a dark reinterpretation of Jonathan Swift\u2019s classic novel Gulliver\u2019s Travels<\/em> that leans into the elements of fantasy, science fiction and horror.<\/p>\n

\n\tDe Souza\u2019s history with the graphic medium dates back to the writer adapting such projects as Judge Dredd<\/em> for Sylvester Stallone\u2019s big-screen take in 1995, along with adapting Cadillacs and Dinosaurs<\/em> as a CBS animated series and his work on HBO\u2019s Tales From the Crypt<\/em>. The scribe\u2019s expansive array of feature credits also include Commando<\/em>, The Running Man<\/em>, Die Hard <\/em>and its 1990 sequel, The Flintstones<\/em>, Beverly Hills Cop III<\/em>, Street Fighter <\/em>and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider \u2014 The Cradle of Life<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFew creators have had the lasting impact on modern action storytelling that Steven de\u00a0Souza has achieved over the course of his career,\u201d says Gungnir founder and publisher Matthew Medney. \u201cHis work has entertained generations of audiences, and these new projects embody the bold, high-concept storytelling we\u2019re committed to championing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAdds Galaxy Publishing CEO Gabriella Aratow, \u201cWe\u2019ve seen different takes on our iconic character over the decades but Gungnir\u2019s plans for Sheena<\/em> are truly singular \u2014 and Matt\u2019s inclusion of us in the planning and execution exceed any we\u2019ve had from partners in the past. It\u2019s a rare and welcome collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn his own statement, de Souza notes, \u201cWhat Gungnir is building reminds me of the heyday of Hollywood\u2019s Golden Age, when storytellers were encouraged to bring fresh ideas in every genre to the table. Matthew and his team at Gungnir have created an environment that\u2019s essentially an incubator where ideas are not just protected, but unleashed. They are giving us the freedom to experiment, collaborate and execute stories with unlimited horizons \u2014 not to mention unlimited budgets: In the pages of a graphic novel, anything that can be imagined can be realized \u2014 a dream scenario for a writer!\u201d<\/p>\n
