Gunplay is a graphic novel, written by Jorge Vega, with art by Dominic Vivona. It was published by Platinum Studios in 2008.[1]
Publication history
Vega, drawing on influences from early Western and war comics, as well as literary pairings such as Huckleberry Finn and Jim, conceived the concept from a combination of the "Rifleman's Creed" and imagery associated with Bob Marley'’s "Buffalo Soldier."
Vage was the winner of the 2007 Platinum Studios Comic Book Challenge,[2] besting over one million other submissions.[3]
An issue #0 preview comic book was released in March 2008, which was followed by a graphic novel. Christopher Priest provided prose backup stories in each issue, chronicling the "Legend of Abner."
Plot
Buffalo Soldier Abner Meeks is condemned to roam the plains with a demonic gun that forces him to kill someone once a day or suffer soul-searing pain. After inadvertently killing a man, Abner forms an uneasy partnership with the victim’s 14-year-old son, who becomes a moral counterweight during their travels.
Other media
Television series
In 2009, Platinum Studios and Fox 21 were developing a Gunplay series to be written by Final Destination and X-Files executive producer Glen Morgan.[4] Platinum Studios' Scott Mitchell Rosenberg was intended to executive produce.
