Titan Comics To Retell The ‘American Sniper’ Story As New Graphic Novel, ‘The Man Who Shot Chris Kyle: An American Legend’

by Olly MacNamee

Hailed as some as a true American hero, while others saw him as something far less, it would seem his short life is still worthy of a graphic novel retelling from Titan Comics called, The Man Who Shot Chris Kyle: An American Legend.

Written by The Death of Stalin’s Fabien Nury, and illustrated by BRÜNO, his new book intends to give even more insight into Kyle’s life and death than the 2013 Clint Eastwood directed film, American Sniper, did.

And judging by the preview, below, it would seem Nury is leaning towards the all-American hero angle too:

“Discover the unforgettable story of the Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, who earned several awards for his time in service and lauded as an American hero. After his honourable discharge from duty Kyle published his autobiography American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History in 2012, and just one year later was found murdered. This graphic novel adapts part of his memoir and continues to explore the lasting effects his murder has had on those he sadly left behind.”
