Deadman's Land (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500995065)

Barry Duffield was a young boy growing up in Australia when he fell in love with all things cinematic. It led him to a successful career as an actor, as well as a screenwriter, and now he's also the author of his first graphic novel. He began his acting career in 1987, most recently playing Lugo on the highly regarded 'Spartacus' TV series. He graduated from South Seas Film and Television School in 1997 with a degree in screenwriting and directing. He was selected for the 2009 New Zealand Film Commission First Writers Initiative and served on the New Zealand Writers Guild board as the Northern Regional Representative. The screenplay of 'Deadman's Land' was a 2013 quarter finalist in the 2013 Final Draft Big Break Screenwriting Competition and the 2014 Scriptapalooza Screenwriting Competition and has now also become Barry's first graphic novel. A passion for all things lycanthropic and an overwhelming desire to bring something fresh to the genre led to the writing of the 'Deadman's Land' screenplay. The need to have the story reach the reading audience led to the creation of the graphic novel.
