The Ring of the Nibelung #1

"The Rhinegold" kicks off DC's ambitious 1990 adaptation of Richard Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen, bringing the mythic origins of the Ring to life with a bold, operatic flair. Written by Richard Wagner and Roy Thomas, and rendered in striking detail by Gil Kane—both in pencils and inks—this issue captures the grandeur of the original opera, with Jim Woodring’s colors and John Costanza’s lettering adding depth to the mythic tone. The cover, also by Gil Kane, sets the stage with a dramatic, timeless image that echoes the story’s epic scale.
