Greek Street

In 2009 and 2010, DC Comics published Greek Street, a 16-issue series that transplanted classic Greek tragedies into a gritty, modern London underworld. Written by Peter Milligan with art primarily by Davide Gianfelice and Werther Dell'Edera, the series wove together a sprawling cast of gangsters, refugees, and aristocrats, whose fates echoed the bloody myths of Oedipus, Medea, and the House of Atreus. It stands as a bold, literary-minded reinvention of ancient storytelling for a contemporary audience.
