Max Brooks is definitely doing something right. The “World War Z” author has had another project picked up for the big screen. Sony Pictures will be adapting his upcoming graphic novel, “The Harlem Hellfighters.” The graphic novel was illustrated by Caanan White and will be published next month.

“The Harlem Hellfighters” is set up for development through Overbrook with Josh Bratman attached to produce.

In 1919, the 369th infantry regiment marched triumphantly home from World War 1. They had spent more time in combat than any other American unit, never losing a foot of ground to the enemy, or a man to capture, and winning countless decorations. Though they returned as heroes, this African American unit faced tremendous discrimination, even from their own government. The Harlem Hellfighters, as the Germans called them, fought courageously on—and off—the battlefield to make Europe, and America, safe for democracy.

In “The Harlem Hellfighters,” bestselling author Max Brooks and acclaimed illustrator Caanan White bring this history to life. From the enlistment lines in Harlem to the training camp at Spartanburg, South Carolina, to the trenches in France, they tell the heroic story of the 369th in an action packed and powerful tale of honor and heart.
