Award-winning martial arts thriller expands from HBO success to graphic novel format, backed by a black-owned publisher. Black Salt – The Last Heroes Left, a comic series merging espionage and political intrigue with ancient martial arts, enters an exciting new phase as Wise Acre Comics partners with Ratti Entertainment to complete the six-issue series and graphic novel adaptation. The series follows Samuel Tharpe, an Interpol agent trained in secret Shaolin arts, as he races to stop a renegade master armed with the deadliest biological weapon ever manufactured.
The franchise has already achieved significant cross-media success:
• 26-month HBO licensing deal for the award-winning proof-of-concept film.
• Multiple gaming accolades include the GDC Spotlight Award and DreamHack Dallas Best Action-INDIE PLAYGROUND Award for the game demo.
• The feature film is currently in pre-production.
“Partnering with Wise Acre Comics was a natural choice,” says Owen Ratliff, Black Salt creator. “Their outstanding work quality, marketing expertise, and success as a black-owned independent publisher align perfectly with our vision to establish Black Salt as a bankable IP.”
Frederick Littles, Wise Acre Comics owner, adds: “Black Salt delivers a genre-defying blend of martial arts, espionage, and political intrigue that immediately captured our attention. This partnership represents our commitment to diverse, high-impact storytelling.”
