NEWSARAMA.COM: MATT FRACTION TALKS ABOUT THE FIVE FISTS OF SCIENCE:
"It’s got Mark Twain, it’s got Nikolai Tesla. Seriously, what else do you need?
Okay, okay, it’s got Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan as well.
“It” is Matt Fraction and Steve Sanders’ Five Fists of Science graphic novel, coming to shops in May via Image Comics. A piece of historical fiction, the story follows Twain and Tesla as they team their considerable resources and intellects together to bring about world peace.
That doesn’t sit so well with Edison and Morgan.
...in digging around I found a photograph of Twain taken by Tesla in Tesla's Houston St. lab circa 1898 or 1899--
And with that the revelation that the two weren't just familiar, but actually friendly, the story came together in an instant, sort of as a joke. Twain! Tesla! They fight crime!
Then as I started to dig, it turns out that truth was way better than fiction... and that Twain had this cra-a-a-a-zy plan to save the world... Once I learned that, literally the whole thing fell into my head in one single instant, and all I had to do then was write it down."
