Exciting news about 'The Explorers Guild'....

Kevin Costner "has signed with Atria Books for a thrilling and innovative new serialized illustrated adventure called 'The Explorers Guild' -- reminiscent of Conrad and Kipling, with the epic sweep of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The first book in the series, 'The Explores Guild, Volume One: A Passage to Shambhala' will be published in 2014." "Produced and developed with writer and art director Jon Baird, and to be illustrated by Rick Ross, the series will appeal to readers from young adult to more mature mystery and adventure enthusiasts. The project will be serialized across traditional and new media, first as a series of books, then as an animated series, and eventually as live action theatrical films, which he intends to produce and star in, with innovative directors behind the camera."
