About the series
In Herakles (2021–present, Daedalus), the legendary Greek hero is reimagined in a modern, grounded setting that strips away the mythic grandeur to explore the man behind the labors. This three-issue series, published by the indie imprint Daedalus, focuses on the psychological and physical toll of Herakles' infamous tasks, presenting him as a flawed, weary figure wrestling with his own legacy. Best known for its raw, visceral art and a script that prioritizes character over spectacle, the series offers a fresh, intimate take on classical mythology that resonates with contemporary sensibilities.
