I don't know the graphic novel - personally I prefer the pictures in my head to ones on paper - but the historical novel by Stephen Pressfield is fantastic. One of the best historical fiction I've read. It actually read like a 'Kendo book' to me. Well researched. Stuff like the Spartans using battle songs for breath control right at the point of battle commencing, while the less trained enemy were yelling and whacking themselves out to little purpose. Interesting stuff.

"The Spartans do not ask how many, but where they are."
