☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the two-issue prestige format miniseries Epicurus the Sage, published by DC Comics in 1990. Written and illustrated by William Messner-Loebs and Sam Kieth, the story follows the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus and his companions on a whimsical, philosophical journey through the classical world, blending humor with mythological and historical figures.
In "Visiting Hades," Epicurus the Sage finds himself drawn into a mythic crisis when Persephone is taken by Hades—only to uncover a secret romance between the two gods that turns the abduction into a ruse. Written by William Messner-Loebs and brought to life with striking art by Sam Kieth, this 1990 DC tale blends ancient myth with unexpected emotional depth. The cover by Sam Kieth captures the story’s dramatic tension, setting the stage for a journey where wisdom must navigate both divine deception and the weight of divine fury.
