DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection #26
A single missing nail sets off a chain of fate in this folkloric adaptation of George Herbert’s 1651 verse, rendered with striking elegance in the DC Comics Graphic Novel Collection #26. Alan Davis’s evocative artwork, inked with precision by Mark Farmer and colored with rich detail by Patricia Mulvihill and Heroic Age, brings a timeless tale of consequence to life. The cover, also by Davis and Farmer, captures the story’s quiet, ominous weight.

Weil ein Nagel fehlte, ging das Hufeisen verloren. Weil das Hufeisen fehlte, ging das Pferd verloren. Weil das Pferd fehlte, ging der Ritter verloren. Weil der Ritter fehlte, ging die Schlacht verloren. So ging das Königreich verloren. Weil ein einziger Nagel fehlte. ...Volkstümliche Adaption eines Verses von George Herbert (Jucula Prudentum, 1651)
