Bacchus still walks the earth today, somewhat the worse for wear, and a few other figures from or derived from classical myth do too--most bizarrely, perhaps, Argus's grandson the Eyeball Kid. Bacchus and Theseus (still around too) are enemies, though nothing much comes of that in this first volume--frustratingly, this volume is not really complete in itself. It also feels like there should be earlier material; talk about in medias res! However, there are lost of intriguing ideas popping around
Could not put it down!
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this looks like very early work of Eddie Campbell's. The artwork is extremely sketchy and not as evocative as his biographical work or autobiographical work. Or even as dark as From Hell. And normally I love his art. This volume disappoints me as I enjoy the concept of Bacchus still wandering around and the retelling of Greek myth refitted to modern day but cannot really enjoy the characters enough to track down volume 2.

Eddie Campbell is one of the greatest graphic artists of all time, and this book sealed that deal for me. It is a gut wrenching and eye pleasing endeavor full of rich scenes overlaying complex pattern work with gritty character design. And the characters!

As the story unfolds distant and difficult immortals become flawed, ambitious, and startlingly sympathetic. I would...
Everyone loves Sandman and Transmet, but to me nothing is better than Eddie Campbell's Bacchus series. As far as "graphic novel" authors go, I would rank:1) Alan Moore2) Eddie Campbell3) Gaiman4) Ellis5) A bunch of other people-m
OMG! I can't beleive I found this! It changed my life as a boy! WANT!
Rating is for the full series. It's wonderful.
Bacchus is distinctly offbeat and kinda funny.
Not clever enough to make the sluggish pacing and dull scene-writing worth it.
Cómic muy original que recrea de una manera fresca la mitología griega, en especial, el personaje de Baco.
Particolare, bellissimi i disegni,ma narrazione eccessivamente decontestualizzata, tenta di essere poetica, ma perde quella patina onirica nel momento in cui ci sono troppi rimandi alla realtà.
Fanciful tale of Greek gods roaming around in present day.
this is very pretty but fuck if I know what it's saying
Stylewise, I usually straddle both traditional superhero and 'artistic' indie comics. There is VERY little in-between the two, but this felt like a bridge between them.
Love it. Need more money so I can buy the subsequent ones. Please send your donation via Western Union immediately.
