SDCC 2025: The Revolution of Cassandra

Filmmaker Eric D. Howell had a dynamite, award-winning screenplay on his hands with The Revolution of Cassandra. Inspired by both his experiences making documentaries around the world and films like Romancing the Stone, Howell knew people liked the story. But strangely enough, the studio criticism was “it has too much of an opinion.” To get it out to the masses, Howell went from screenwriting to graphic novel writing.

While caught in the crossfire of a raging civil war, a patchouli-wearing, humanitarian must save her tomboy sister from the firing squad by beseeching help from a right-wing gun-smuggler, and changes the entire course of the war by inadvertently starting her own revolution.  

 

Cassandra is the dread-lock & Birkenstock equivalent to Lara Croft. An action-romance is in the tradition of Jumanji, The Lost City, and Romancing The Stone.  A female Don Quixote living life as it should be. A story about using your voice for what you believe in, not screaming about what you’re against!  

Next week at San Diego Comic-Con International, all six chapters of The Revolution of Cassandra will be available at the Bliss on Tap booth, #5533. Each issue contains two chapters and retails for $5.99. THIS week, you can watch my conversation with Eric about his inspiration, the perils of pivoting from filmmaking to comics, and using your voice.

If you’re not going to Comic-Con, you can order The Revolution of Cassandra here.
