The Ring of the Nibelung

P. Craig Russell’s lush, operatic adaptation of Richard Wagner’s epic cycle, The Ring of the Nibelung, began its publication at Dark Horse in 2002. This two-issue series translates the mythic saga of gods, dwarves, and a cursed golden ring into a stunning visual narrative, with Russell both scripting and illustrating alongside Patrick Mason. A landmark of literary comics, it brings Wagner’s monumental 19th-century opera to the page with reverence and artistic ambition, making it essential for fans of both classical music and graphic storytelling.
