The Kursk Sails Again



The Kursk
Tucson, Arizona – May 12, 2013 – The Submarine, The Kursk Sails Again.  The Russian submarine, K-141, the Kursk sunk in the Barents Sea 13 years ago in a mysterious accident in August 12, 2000.  But with the help of awarding winning Australian playwright Sasha Janowicz, illustrator Andrea Montano and film producer James A. Bretney, The Kursk Sails Again in a new graphic novel: The Kursk.

Andrea Montano's Art
Bretney is raising money on Kickstarter to make his dream a reality.  “I invite you to discover a new world, world of intrigue and honor, of danger and mystery.  By donating to our campaign, I guarantee you will have done good thing.  You will reinforce the health of your community and the world that is only good by the results of good men.”

Playwright Sasha Janowicz
“Sasha’s play won the 2007 Bell Award for Best New Play, the Matilda award three times for Best New Australian Play, Best Direction, and Best Independent Production, Matilda Awards,” said front man James A. Bretney.  “It is a good story about bravery and courage and it raises questions about what really happened and the people deserve answers.  The families of those who died deserve answers to what happened and how their loved ones lived and died.”

Bretney hopes the visual medium of the graphic novel will resonate with younger viewers.  “Andrea Montano is in her twenties.  She is very young.  She has a youthful vitality in her portfolio.  She handles color and lighting very well.  Comics books are a billion dollar market with more users not only going to the comic book stores but downloading them from websites and smart phones.  We want to bring this story to a world stage.”
