Rome Noir - An Idea for a Comic story (German language)

About

This is a (German language!) project pitch for a comic book story idea that I came up with. It proposes the combination of the historical period of the Roman Empire with a detective story reminiscent of the Film noir era and classic "hard-boiled" detective characters like Raymond Chandler's Philipp Marlowe or Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade.

The document outlines the general idea, first story points, character and set designs that I came up with. The cover picture teases the intended visual style, using grayscale to have that little 'old Hollywood' touch to it. Whether or not this may turn into a full story and comic book, I cannot tell by now.
