Another comic based storyline is coming to the big screen soon. Hollywood Scribes Stephen St. Leger and James Mather are coming to Rogue Pictures to write & direct the adaptation of THE LOST SQUAD. Rogue Pictures will be distributing the flick based on the comic written by Chris Kirby.

The mini series comic focuses on the supernatural action-adventures of a squad of U.S. soldiers who take on weird missions during World War II, fighting Adolf Hitler's occult agents and other threats.

I have always loved this type of premise with Hitler and his occult...I think this sounds damn cool and if given the proper treatment it could be awesome...

Funk dat. Where's The Creature Commandos?!?!

OK, I'm up for this.
But I just got this image of every other soldier in WWII being some sort of superhero/supervillain, or battling the occult.
Anybody remember the old comic about a tank crew that was aided by the spirit of J.E.B. Stuart?

I've got to come up with my own graphic novel 'cuz everyone of them gets bought up to make into a movie. It does sound like an interesting premise.

Sounds like shades of Hellboy & LXG.

YES!!! THANK YOU JOEY!!!!!!!
your comment saved my faith in the mania threads, I'd thought most people had forgotten about Creature Commandos and Weird War Tales, but those were some of the finest comics ever created by Joe Kubert!!!!!!!

My pleasure mckracken!

And Capt - you’re thinking of The Haunted Tank.

Damn I'm old.
