1st printing. Story and art by Al Davidson. In the original classic Greek myth, the Minotaur was a terrible beast, half-man, half-bull, who feasted on human flesh and was justly slain by the noble hero Theseus. But that is only one version of the story. There is also the Minotaur's tale, as told by the Minotaur. Banshee' is a deformed young man recovering from a savage beating, when he is first given the Minotaur's diary by a kindly friend. As a modern-day `monster,' he finds it raises questions that he did not even know existed about his own life: Questions regarding myths and truth, ugliness and beauty, punishment and power. The book's pages contain some of the answers to such questions, but `Banshee' finds out even more: that not only does he have value, but also the ability to change things himself. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 80 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $11.95.
