Eddie Campbell's Bacchus

Eddie Campbell’s Bacchus (1995–2002, Eddie Campbell Comics) reimagines the Greek god of wine as a mortal, wandering the modern world with a cast of other immortal figures. Across nine issues, Campbell and artist Peter Mullins blend myth, history, and dark humor in a sprawling, episodic narrative that feels both timeless and deeply personal. A cult classic from the creator of From Hell, this series matters for its audacious, literate take on mythology—treating gods as flawed, aging characters in a world that has long since moved past them.
