Deadface: Doing the Islands with Bacchus #2

In "The Book-Keeper from Atlantis," Bacchus stumbles upon a forgotten bookstore on the island of Thira, run by an old Atlantean acquaintance who once safeguarded ancient knowledge. When Bacchus accidentally sets the place ablaze—thanks to a careless cigarette—the fate of that wisdom hangs in the balance.

In "Look Ma, No Deoxyribonucleic Acid!", Bacchus leads a spirited debate among his followers about what truly makes a person—whether it’s the science of DNA or something more divine. With his trademark flair, he offers a refreshingly unorthodox take that blends myth and mystery, all in true revelry fashion.

In "A God and His Dog," Bacchus dozes off on a small island, only to wake and find his slumber has sprouted a vineyard across the land—much to the joy of his followers. As he stretches and wanders, he shares the ancient, winding tale of wine’s rise, weaving myth and moment in equal measure.

In "The History of Fashion," Bacchus — timeless, roguish, and utterly unimpressed — recounts the wild evolution of style from his millennia-spanning vantage point, watching as his followers strip down to nature’s basics. With dry wit and a wink, he surveys the absurdities of human dress, proving even the most fleeting trends are just part of a much older, wilder story.

In "It's a Jungle in Here," Bacchus, ever the showman, answers his restless followers’ complaints with a full-throttle Bacchanal on the island—where wild revelry and ancient magic collide. As the night spirals into something deeper and more primal, even the skeptics might find themselves swept into a frenzy they never saw coming.
