Der Wind der Götter

Set in the era of the great European sailing ships, Der Wind der Götter (2009–present, Finix) is a sweeping historical adventure series that follows the crew of a 16th-century Portuguese ship as they navigate treacherous oceans and encounter the mysteries of the New World. Written by Patrick Cothias and Tobias Haßdenteufel, with evocative artwork by Thierry Gioux, this single-issue comic explores themes of exploration, ambition, and the clash of cultures. It matters as a vivid, visually rich entry in Finix’s catalog, capturing the peril and wonder of the Age of Discovery with a painterly, atmospheric style.
