Dark Horse Comics has revealed the first image from Frank Miller‘s upcoming comic book series, which is a prequel to the comic book 300, entitled XERSES. Also included was a description of Miller’s upcoming Xerses graphic novel, which is planned for a big screen adaption prequel to Zack Snyder‘s 300. Check them both out below!

Xerxes rose to power in fifth-century-BC Persia and became known as “The King of Kings,” eventually raising and leading a massive army intent on ruthlessly destroying the hated Greeks who killed his father. Xerxes seeks nothing less than to become a god himself — and achieves his wish!

You can purchase the image as a limited edition lithograph or a regular lithograph over at the Dark Horse site.
