From Academy Award-winner and Director John Bruno—the visual effects mastermind behind Avatar, Terminator 2, and original Poltergeist movie—comes his first graphic novel, Navigator! This idea is based on an original tale he made with Steve Burg and Ron Thornton.

The screenplay is by John Bruno and William Wisher (Terminator 2). Illustrating this epic space adventure is Jordi Armengol who, with his atmospheric work, helps bring the cosmos to life.

An alien navigator, captured in battle on Jupiter’s fourth moon, Europa, seeks sanctuary. In return, the alien will provide his advanced technology to help defend humankind from the alien force that enslaved him and has come to destroy us. In this backdrop is a story of love and reconciliation between a young Marine officer—placed in command of Earth’s forces—his estranged wife, and Amy, the daughter he’s never met.

Some of Bruno’s ideas may have come from all the films he’s worked on, and he’s been in the industry for a little more than 40 years! In addition to all the visual effects work he’s done, he’s dabbled in directing too. It must be noted one of his early jobs included working on Heavy Metal the Movie (“Soft Landing”).

The Navigator hardcover will be available at comic stores on January 18, 2023 and be delivered to bookstores January 31, 2023. It is available for pre-order on Amazon, and at your local comic book shop and bookstores. Navigator will retail for $24.99 (USD)
