About the series
In 1989 and 1991, DC Comics published this two-issue miniseries by writer William Messner-Loebs and artist Sam Kieth, a witty and irreverent romp through ancient Greece that follows the philosopher Epicurus and his students. The series blends historical figures with mythological fantasy, offering a thoughtful yet playful exploration of philosophy, hedonism, and the nature of the gods. Its offbeat tone and distinctive art make it a cult curiosity within DC's late-80s/early-90s output, showcasing Kieth's expressive style before his work on The Sandman and The Maxx.
