David Rubín revisits the story of Heracles from birth onwards, examing each of the twelve tasks that he carried out from a new and ambitious perspective. In the first of two proposed parts, the author from Ourense combines epic and reflection to present a carefully staged comic-saga with spectacular narrative and abundant use of colour.
The Hero is a superhero comic with no tights, capes or masks in bright colours, but which depicts a popular icon from a more human perspective, rendering him more vulnerable. The story is populated by a multitude of mythological characters, from Eurystheus to Hera, and including the boatman Charon among many others, all situated, described and presented from a new point of view.
