Herakles #2

A blood-red handprint dominates the stark black cover of this second volume, its splattered edges suggesting both ancient ritual and raw, visceral power — a fittingly primal image for a retelling of Greek mythology's greatest hero. Édouard Cour's stark, minimalist design makes an immediate visual statement, letting the crimson mark speak volumes about the weight Herakles carries into Book II. With writing by Jeremy Melloul, this 2019 Lion Forge release continues what promises to be a bold, atmospheric take on one of antiquity's most enduring legends.
