A striking meeting of operatic grandeur and comics craftsmanship, this German-language edition from Norbert Hethke Verlag brings Richard Wagner's "Die Walküre" to life through the dynamic linework of Gil Kane, who both penciled and inked the cover. Roy Thomas joins Wagner as co-writer, making this an ambitious adaptation that bridges classical mythology and the sequential art page. At 12,80 DEM, it's a handsome package for anyone drawn to epic Norse legend rendered through some of the medium's most assured visual storytelling.
