Age of Bronze
Age of Bronze is a comic series by Eric Shanower depicting the Trojan War, and I just love it and wanted to share. I had to read the Iliad and the Odyssey in school, and though I got the gist, it is somehow a lot different when you have an image to associate with the characters - especially when it's art this good-looking!
The archaeological background was heavily researched and it really shows - these aren't your usual toga-clad players, but rather very plausible Bronze-Age Myceneans and Trojans. The stories of the characters themselves - past and present, and enough relatives to make the Summers family tree look pedestrian - are interwoven to present a unified story despite the varied origins of the original myths.
And here is a page from the first trade, "Age of Bronze: A Thousand Ships":
I guess, before I try to figure out which parts of the three trades I should scan (there are so many interwoven storylines, as in the original), is there much interest in more? (Also - how does the page limit of scans work with trades of over 200 pages each?) And since this is such a well-known story - if there are any particular storylines or parts you'd like to see, I could certainly scan those over something else. The trades I have only cover the prelude to the actual fighting part of the war as of yet, though, but the pencils on the official website are certainly promising some great stuff in future issues :)
Hope I've done this right, I never posted much before, but this was something I really wanted to share!
