Bacchus Omnibus Edition Volume 1

Book excerpt: In Bacchus, the visionary behind From Hell (with Alan Moore) and ALEC: The Years Have Pants presents his version of "an American-style comic book," filtered through his own brilliant, whimsical, and wide-ranging sensibility. With a fine blend of action, comedy, suspense, and an ear for a great story, Bacchus brings the gods and myths of ancient Greece to modern life, as if they had never left. Nearly 600-pages, this deluxe volume collects the first half of the Bacchus saga (including "Immortality Isn't Forever," "The Gods of Business," "Doing the Islands with Bacchus," "The Eyeball Kid: One Man Show," and "Earth, Water, Air & Fire") with new notes and commentary by the author.
