Mills/Hondros team to tell a tale of a terrible tsar

Local cartoonist Art Hondros has teamed with cartoonist/writer Scott Mills (a former Marylander) on a historical comic about tsar Ivan Vasilyevich, aka Ivan the Terrible. "In an effort to combine my love of Russian history and old Gold Key comics I’ve joined forces with artist Art Hondros to create Terrible: Tsar Ivan IV," Scott writes on the blog he created for the comic. The book will comprise 10 six-page chapters "detailing what I see as the most salient–or at least most interesting–aspects of history’s most notorious tsar." The first chapter is up online today, and Scott also posted some of Art's black-and-white drawings for the project.
