Herakles | Edouard Cour

2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read

Author Edouard Cour revisits one of the greatest Greek myths by painting the often-heroic Herakles as, well . . . somewhat of a jerk. Crude and stubborn at times, in little glimpses we meet a man--half-human, after all--with a psychology more complex than he appears, entangled in guilt over the ghosts who have haunted him since childhood. A mournful sadness seizes him as he crosses the fleeting silhouettes of a woman and her three children. "Friends or foe, all those who cross his path end up stiff and worm food," comments Linos, the ghost of his childhood music teacher. Brimming with pathos and dark humor, this portrait of Herakles is a graphic whirlwind leaving little respite and often revealing beautiful surprises.

Herakles | Edouard Cour

so-so

3⭐️ At first I didn‘t care for it, but by the end I was entertained and interested to see how the story plays out. Herakles is the greek equivalent of Hercules. He is sent on his trials and tasked to impossible quests. We travel with him to complete four or five labors, and they are not pretty. They are violent, but not bloody as drawn in this book. I now want to see how this author/artist bring this story to completion.
