About this Collection

This 1990 Dark Horse collection brings together the complete run of the Deadface miniseries, a gritty supernatural crime story about a disfigured vigilante who battles both mortal enemies and the curse of his own unnatural longevity. The volume follows the title character's quest for redemption in a world where death refuses to claim him, blending noir atmosphere with dark fantasy elements typical of early independent comics.

In "Bacchus Is Back," Eddie Campbell delivers a darkly charged tale where the mythic figure Bacchus reconnects the dots between a plane crash in Belize and the enigmatic Joe Theseus. With Campbell handling every aspect of the interior art, inks, and lettering, the story unfolds through Bacchus’ simmering recounting of his enduring feud with Theseus and the legendary clash with the Minotaur—set against a backdrop of myth and mystery. The cover, also by Campbell, captures the story’s brooding intensity.
