BRIEFLY CHAMPIONESS: Legendary Comics is teaming with Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas for Championess, a graphic novel set for release in the fall.
Here's how Legendary describes the book:
"Drawing inspiration from the real-life enigmatic boxer Elizabeth Wilkinson who challenged opponents by posting adverts in London newspapers in the early 1700s, this fictitious story follows the Championess of Europe as she fights to gain notoriety in the male-dominated sport of bare-knuckle boxing, as well as struggles with her own racial identity."
"When Tarun and Kelly first pitched me Championess, I loved that it was based on a true story and explored the life of a female bare-knuckle boxer in the 18th Century," said Nikita Kannekanti, editor of Legendary Comics. "It's such a unique premise, and I had no idea women boxing was a thing back then! I have wanted to bring an incredibly strong, passionate female character to life in an original graphic novel, and the story Tarun and Kelly have created based on Elizabeth Wilkinson is the perfect opportunity."
"There isn't much known about Elizabeth Wilkinson, but when we first heard her story, our imaginations went wild as we hung on every detail, from her larger-than-life personality to the way she helped popularize the sport of boxing in its earliest, most brutal days," said Shanker and Zekas in a statement. "We're so excited to be working with Legendary to tell her remarkable story and explore this fascinating corner of history."
