Synopsis

On the rain-soaked streets of Glasgow, a girl whose drawings somehow come to life has just stumbled across her one true love. And thousands of miles below those streets, an ancient demi-god plots his escape from the prison where he's been held for nearly two thousand years. In these tales from the first seven issues of RED THORN, evil forces are at play and no one is safe as the legends of Scottish mythology collide with the modern world. Fans of FABLES and THE SANDMAN won't want to miss this riveting dark fantasy epic!

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

RED GOD RISING
 
Although she grew up in America, gifted artist Isla Mackintosh is a Scot at heart. Both of her parents were born in Glasgow, and 25 years ago her older sister Lauren vanished during a visit to the land of her ancestry. Now, Isla is following in her sister’s footsteps, hoping to discover the truth behind her disappearance.
 
The secret she’s about to unearth, however, is far older and more dangerous than she ever could have guessed.
 
Something has been waiting for Isla, deep beneath the moors. A pagan demigod has been trapped there for millennia, caged inside the bones of ancient gods. He smells of the blood of a thousand enemies and the sweat of countless lovers. His name is Thorn, and Isla’s art is the key to his freedom.
 
Writer David Baillie and artists Meghan Hetrick and Steve Pugh bring the myths and legends of Scotland roaring back to life in RED THORN VOL. 1: GLASGOW KISS—a sweeping, supernatural saga in the classic VERTIGO tradition!

Revue de presse :

“Vivid 21st century pop occultism, redolent and ripe with the romance and horror of prime VERTIGO.”

—Kieron Gillen, co-creator/writer of The Wicked + The Divine
 
“Equal parts folklore, horror and post-millennial noir. The Mona Lisa of the VERTIGO renaissance—assuming the Mona Lisa bites, curses, screws around and has a Scottish accent.”
—Mike Carey, writer of LUCIFER and THE UNWRITTEN
