Top Collection #5

A handsome 1991 German-language collection from Norbert Hethke Verlag, this volume brings together an ambitious adaptation of Richard Wagner's epic opera "Das Rheingold," with the legendary Gil Kane handling both pencils and inks throughout. Roy Thomas's script translates Wagner's mythic tale of gods, dwarves, and cursed gold into vivid comic form, with Jim Woodring's colors adding further depth to Kane's dynamic linework. A compelling meeting of operatic grandeur and sequential art craft, priced at 12.80 DEM for readers who appreciated ambitious, myth-driven storytelling in 1991.
