Bacchus [Omnibus Edition] #2

Eddie Campbell's celebrated mythological series continues in this handsome omnibus, collecting further adventures of the Roman god of wine rendered in Campbell's distinctively gritty, expressive line work. The cover says it all: a weathered, world-weary figure in a flat cap raises a wine glass with the gruff, reluctant air of a man who's been toasting eternity far too long — divinity worn down to something wonderfully, achingly human. At $39.99 this 2016 collection is a substantial dive into one of independent comics' most thoughtfully irreverent takes on myth and mortality.
