A new day has come, and there is a new "reinterpretation" of a classic story in town. This time, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels is getting a graphic novel makeover from Die Hard writer Steven de Souza for publisher Gungnir Books. 

As revealed by The Hollywood Reporter, de Souza is signed on for three graphic novels with Gungnir Books. Gulliver, you guessed it, will be a "dark reinterpretation of Jonathan Swift’s classic novel Gulliver’s Travels that leans into the elements of fantasy, science fiction and horror." Honestly, as someone who has survived being attacked by a horde of toddlers, that sounds appropriate. 

De Souza's other projects for Gungnir include a Sheena: Queen of the Jungle story called Frostline that "will take Sheena from the jungle to a frozen winter landscape in an action-horror story." Sheena: Queen of the... Tundra perhaps? Sheena vs. The Thing? Sheena vs. The Dogs From The Thing? I'll stop now. 

The last book in this trio is called Earth Patrol Tonight! that is a mix of "action with humor" that "centers on the misguided group of astronauts behind Earth’s disastrous attempt at intergalactic conflict." 

About the deal with Gungnir, de Souza said, "What Gungnir is building reminds me of the heyday of Hollywood’s Golden Age, when storytellers were encouraged to bring fresh ideas in every genre to the table. [Gungnir founder and publisher] Matthew [Medney] and his team at Gungnir have created an environment that’s essentially an incubator where ideas are not just protected, but unleashed. They are giving us the freedom to experiment, collaborate and execute stories with unlimited horizons — not to mention unlimited budgets: In the pages of a graphic novel, anything that can be imagined can be realized — a dream scenario for a writer!" 

There is no word yet on when fans can expect to see these books hit shelves.
