POLIS: The Trial of Socrates
A historical graphic novel that examines the events that led up to the trial and execution of Socrates in ancient Athens.
Previously: Socrates entered the Assembly Hall to put a stop to Critias' illegal actions, but it would seem that the Assemblymen are too frightened to stand up to the tyrant.
And here it is inked:

I don't think Socrates is going to get out of this one alive... (Oh, wait, according to history he's executed 4 years later. So I guess he will get out of this one...)

I'd like to try something a little different with this post. Let's have a caption/dialog contest!
For anyone who'd like to participate, please write your submissions as comments below. (Format should be: Panel 1, CRITIAS: XXX; Panel 2, CRITIAS: XXX, SOCRATES: XXX, etc.) The main characters here are Critias and Socrates. Figure it this way - the point of the previous page was Socrates' entrance, and him saying, "Hey, don't do this!". The point of this page is Critias telling Socrates, "F-U, old man."
Be serious, or be hilarious. Totally up to you.
The winnings will be paid out once the post expires 7 days from now. If we get 10 partcipants, the winner will win 1 SBD. 20 participants? The winner will get 2 SBD. 40 participants or more? The winner will get 5 SBD. (Sorry, folks, I'm not a whale.) And I'll be the judge.
Finally, I have a cool announcement: I've been talking to Steemit's very own @stahlberg and he has agreed to the do the art for the cover of the graphic novel! Not only does this mean steemit is connecting me to some fantastic talent, but it's also the first payment I will have ever made with cryptocurrency for, well, anything really. So that's pretty awesome.
Looking forward to sharing here in the future what he puts together.
