the art of Norse Mythology.





We have followed the work of artist P Craig Russell from First Comics' Elric, that anti-hero a runesword slinging Alfar-type sorcerer, through his stirring adaptation of The Ring of Nibelung, an excellent deluxe one-shot of Doctor Strange, and now for his take on Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology.











There's an iconic art nouveau core mixed with expressionism in Russell's unmistakable style that makes it a suggestively hedonistic Klimt-esque visual thrill to look at.



Single issues are set to release July 1st, though we'll probably wait for Dark Horse to collect them for us in a graphic novel.

Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires' Norse Gods and Giants at age seven. Since then he's been fascinated by the truthful potency of Norse Mythology, passionately read & studied, embraced Ásatrú, launched the Map of Midgard project, and spearheaded the neologism/brand NorsePlay. If you have employment/opportunities in investigative mythology,  field research, or product development to offer, do contact him.
