Epicurus the Sage

In this brief but vivid 2003 DC Comics offering, writer William Messner-Loebs and artist Sam Kieth reimagine the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus as a wandering, wise-cracking sage navigating a world of gods, monsters, and philosophical quandaries. A single-issue gem, it blends classical mythology with irreverent humor and Kieth’s distinctive, expressive art, offering a charmingly offbeat take on the origins of Western thought.
