"Bacchus is Back" marks the return of Eddie Campbell’s mythic antihero in a story that weaves personal history with ancient legend. With Bacchus recounting his enduring feud with Joe Theseus and the fabled battle with the Minotaur, the issue blends dark humor and mythic scale in Campbell’s signature style. The full creative control—writing, art, inking, and lettering by Campbell himself—anchors this surreal, character-driven tale, with a cover by Campbell that captures the story’s defiant, irreverent spirit.
