Opera #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the complete run of the 1990 Eclipse series Opera, a surreal and visually striking comic that blends opera, mythology, and dark fantasy. The story follows a mysterious woman named Opera as she navigates a dreamlike world of gods, monsters, and twisted reality, with art and writing by various creators including Dave McKean and others. It's a rare and experimental work that showcases Eclipse's willingness to publish unconventional, avant-garde material in the early 1990s.
"Parsifal Part I: His Journey" is a striking entry in the Opera series, showcasing P. Craig Russell’s singular artistic vision across writing, art, inking, coloring, and lettering. Set in a mythic realm, the story follows Golaud as he brings Melisande to his grandfather’s kingdom, where her presence ignites a quiet but deepening bond between her and Pelleas—setting the stage for a conflict that lingers beneath the surface. The cover, also by Russell, captures the tale’s haunting, operatic tone in bold, expressive lines.
