The first image from Frank Miller's comic prequel to 300 - XERXES - has been revealed (pictured above). Xerxes will be published as a six-issue miniseries by Dark Horse Comics in 2011 and there is the possibility that it may be turned into a movie by Zack Snyder, director of 300 the motion picture.

"The story will be the same heft as '300' but it covers a much, much greater span of time," Miller told the Los Angeles Times. "It's 10 years, not three days. This is a more complex story. The story is so much larger."

The first image of Xerxes is being offered by Dark Horse as a 24" x 36" lithograph priced at $25. An ultra-limited edition of 100 signed and numbered copies are also be released at $100.00 each.

Here's hoping they DO turn Xerxes into a movie... it'd give NECA a reason to release their canceled Xerxes action figure from "300"!
