Die Taten des Herkules

Gustave Doré’s Die Taten des Herkules is a single-issue comic from Machwerk Verlag, launched in 1984 and still in print. This German series adapts the labors of the classical hero through Doré’s iconic, dramatic illustrations, which he both wrote and drew. It stands as a distinctive, artist-driven take on mythological adventure, blending 19th-century engraving style with the comic format.
