RE: Trial of Socrates: First character sketches
I really like his style on these. This seems like a very interesting story. I'm not a huge history buff, but I do like graphic novels.
Is this going to be pretty true to history?
Yes, with some caveats. There are just a lot of holes in the historical details, so that means I'll have to be creative to fill them. And usually reality fails to live up to good story-telling, so if I'm confronted with a choice between fact and (narrative) truth, I'll go with the latter.
My two main sources are Plato's Dialogs and Xenophon's works. There will also be a nod Aristophanes as well.
That's awesome. And yes.... that's how history stories have to be... we have no clue what they do in between everything. I look forward to hearing more about it!
