04 PANTHEON
2017
Horus, son of Isis, vows bloody revenge on his Uncle Set for the murder and usurpation of his Pharaoh father. Based on elements from several versions of the famous Osiris myth, Pantheon contains: incest, decapitation, suspicious salad, fighting hippos, flying cows, a boat race, resurrections, lots of scorpions and a golden willy.
PANTHEON: THE TRUE STORY OF THE EGYPTIAN DEITIES was my first full length graphic novel. It lead to my Russ Manning Promising Newcomer Award at the Eisner’s.
In 2013, I self-published the first edition of Pantheon in black and white through Kickstarter. It came under the radar of Nobrow Press who have since published the extended, full-colour version.
The inspiration for Pantheon was simply my desire to read a book like it. I had read some Eygptian mythology and loved it, but whenever I looked for books adapting it, I would only find children’s books which censored all the juiciest details or stuffy academic textbooks. This book is definitely for adults but it is also meant to be the most accessible version of the myths for new fans of this era in time.
"Savage, bawdy, irreverent and uproariously funny, this graphic novel has moments of grandeur and insight that make it educational as well as entertaining."
