A new version of Freedom Fighter ‘56 game, educational game based on the Hungarian Revolution, includes a graphic novel based on the game’s story. The publisher is Lauer Learning, although I think the creative work is by The Inspiracy. The books “56 stories” contains 56 personal recollections of the Hungarian Revolution, with original photographs, sketches, an original map, timeline, and glossary.I wish I had these sort of things at school…

It was with great delight that I found one of my favorite graphic novel series, entitled “Les Cités Obscures” by Benoit Peeters and François Shuiten, being expanded into a cross media concept. Interactive maps on the web site allow visitors to navigate among stories from the graphic novels and to see animations conveying the same surrealist spirit of the drawings. I read on a newspaper there is a theatrical work also in the works, based on the “Obscure Cities”, but I couldn’t find any traces of it on the Internet - does anybody know about it?
