Ever since his work with Paul Cornell on This Damned Band, Tony Parker has been on my list of artists to watch. He rose to greater prominence with his work on the God of War comics, and it was only a matter of time before a visual storyteller this good started writing his stories, too.
And he’s not starting small. Tackling Greek mythology and wrestling “the truth” from it, Parker teams with colorist Tamra Bonvillain and letterer Taylor Esposito for Medusa, an 88 page graphic novel from Dark Horse in October 2024.
According to Dark Horse:
Everything you know about Medusa is a lie. Forever cursed to be remembered as a monster, this ageless yet very mortal hero has spent millennia saving humanity from the horrors of legend. But now, in Scotland, she has met a foe that makes even the gods hide in fear. Armed with unwavering resolve, will the mighty Medusa be able to save mankind one last time?
Odds are high. But the journey will be gorgeous.
Medusa (88 pages, 10.1875” x 6.625”, paperback) will be available in bookstores on October 1, 2024 and comic shops on October 2, 2024.
