Kickstarting Comics: ‘Circe’ Book Two From Laurence Allison And Simon Harrison
by Olly MacNamee
With Circe Book One already published, this second and final volume returns to Circe and her relationship with Odysseus. It comes from writer Laurence Allison and artist Simon Harrison in this new campaign, launched today.
“Part Two expands the strange mythological world established in the first book, drawing Circe deeper into the affairs of gods, monsters and primordial forces. Hecate, Helios, Hades, Nyx, the Furies and Cerberus all have roles to play — but exactly how they collide is something best left for readers to discover.
Because this is very much Circe’s story.
Goddess. Witch. Lover. Daughter. And now something more.
At its heart remains a story about love, trust, deception and the consequences of our choices – particularly when mortals and gods become entangled with one another.”
Allison has already delved into the classic epic poem, The Odyssey, in Odysseus: In Defiance of the Gods, and now he goes deeper with this reimagining of a core tale from this ancient Greek myth. Here’s a first look at the graphic novel now:
Circe Book Two continues the wider mythology established in Odysseus: In Defiance of the Gods. Read more on this campaign on the official Kickstarter page here.
