Leviticus Cross debuts in Italy

Leviticus Cross, the acclaimed debut title from Hays Entertainment, has been secured for publication in Italy. Issue one will be presented at the Torino Comics Convention Friday June 13th and will feature two incentive covers for retailers.

"Paolo Accolti Gil of ITALYCOMICS got a hold of some of the initial interior art," explains Seth Hays, creator of Leviticus Cross. "He believed so much in the book that he made an unprecedented offer to publish it in Italy even before there was a US distribution deal."

Hays hired many of the conceptual artists who worked on Star Wars Episode II and III to do designs for the project. Since that time, all five books in the series have been completed and are ready to ship when orders are placed. Issue one will be available in the US, Canada, and UK through Diamond Distributors and will be on shelves beginning September. Hays Entertainment has plans for more international deals and is in final negotiations with a major production company for film/tv rights.

"If all goes well you will shortly be seeing a lot more Leviticus Cross in all sorts of media," says Hays. "It's a thrill to finally be able to unleash Leviticus Cross on the public at large -- I think they're going to like what they see."
