Avatar Press has unveiled a new miniseries featuring Rome's most decadent ruler.
David Lapham (Stray Bullets) will write the six-issue series Caligula, a horror-themed story of the emperor Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus.
"In an age of depravity, one man’s perverse appetites horrified the entire Roman Empire," reads the solicitation. "A ruler who began as a generous man but who ended as the most debased of monarchs, Caligula exemplifies the very concept that absolute power corrupts absolutely.
"No stranger to horror (as fans of his Crossed: Family Values series can attest), Lapham delivers the bloody tale of the infamous emperor - but with a supernatural twist - as illustrated by new talent German Nobile."
Caligula will debut in March 2011.
