This session offers a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how a high-stakes gladiatorial epic—set against the backdrop of the formidable Empire of Sagrada—was built through a synergy of rigorous historical research and bold fantasy world-building.
Through this talk, we hope students will gain insight into the coordination of roles required in professional book production and learn how to integrate complex historical research into a comic narrative without losing the "heart" of the story.
