A comic zine retelling the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh, focusing on the demigod king and his rival Enkidu.
This comic zine relates the epic poem of Gilgamesh, the oldest surviving literary work, out of ancient Mesopotamia. Issue one introduces Gilgamesh, a demigod and the tyrannical emperor of Uruk in 2500 BCE. As his harsh leadership style gets out of hand, the gods send a challenger in the form of Enkidu, a half-god, half-animal. The zine is hand-drawn and handwritten in a graphic style in grey, black, and white and includes a bibliography.
