The Ring of the Nibelung Vol. 2 [The Valkyrie]

P. Craig Russell adapts the second opera of Wagner's Ring cycle in this 2000–2001 miniseries from Dark Horse, pairing his lush, detailed artwork with a script co-written by Patrick Mason. The story follows the god Wotan’s attempt to protect his warrior daughters, the Valkyries, as their defiance of his will sets in motion the tragic fate of the hero Siegmund and the mortal Sieglinde. Russell’s elegant, operatic visuals bring the mythic scale and emotional intensity of Wagner’s epic to the comic page, making this a standout in his celebrated series of adaptations.
