Deadface: Doing the Islands with Bacchus #2
In "The Book-Keeper from Atlantis," Bacchus finds himself on the sun-drenched island of Thira, where a chance encounter with old Atlantean acquaintances leads him into a quiet, curious mystery. One of them, a reclusive bookseller preserving ancient Atlantean wisdom, becomes the unexpected focus of a moment that’s as careless as it is unforgettable—thanks to a single, ill-timed cigarette. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Eddie Campbell, this issue blends wry humor with a touch of melancholy, all framed by Campbell’s distinctive cover art.
