Volume 1 - 1st printing.

Based on the story by Marcel Proust. Adapted by Stephane Heuet.

Now in trade paperback!

Proust, now a teenager, describes his first separation from his mother, a vacation taken in a high class beach resort in Normandy. Besides the fleeting visions of young girls, he also keenly observes, without acidity but detached amusement, the petty sophistry of the French upper class in its genteel environs, safely removed from the lower ones. An important social question is to know whether the pane of glass will always protect the feast of the marvelous beasts and if the obscure people peering at them through the night will not come and pick them out of their aquarium and eat them.

Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 72 pages, full color.

Dark Horse Edition - Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Gotterdammerung: The Twilight of the Gods!" Collects Ring of the Nibelung: Siegfried (2000) #1-3 and Ring of the Nibelung: Gotterdammerung (2001) #1-4. By P. Craig Russell. The ultimate adaptation of Richard Wagner's Ring Cycle concludes with these elaborate and faithful renditions of Siegfried and Gotterdammerung: The Twilight of the Gods. Siegfried is separated from his love, the Valkyrie Brunhilde, and even the All-Father himself cannot make things right. In the stunning conclusion, all of creation hangs in the balance because of gods meddling in the affairs of man -- all over the gold of the Rhinemaids. In this massive undertaking, P. Craig Russell has created a living, breathing version of the Ring Cycle that Richard Wagner could only have dreamed of executing in his day. Softcover, 224 pages, full color.
