THOR
Book One · An Illustrated Novel
FORGET THE HERO. ᛫ ᛫ ᛫ FEAR THE STORM.
The myths were never only stories. They were warnings.
THOR (ᚦᛟᚱ) is an illustrated literary saga rooted in the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda of Norse mythology.
In the rain-soaked streets of 1995 Seattle the mythology of the Norse stirs. It is breathing in gasps. Hidden beneath a concrete gray sky, powers that predate the city are stirring. A fusion of poetry and prose strips bare the four-color heroics and completely reimagines, restoring the raw, brutal, truth of the Norse.
This is not the Thor you have read in comic books and big budget movies.
This is the Thunderer as the skalds sang him. Vulnerable. Burdened with the weight of ørlǫg. Waiting to be found.
A GOD WHO CANNOT
ESCAPE HIS PURPOSE
Fusing gritty atmospheric prose and the devastating alliterative pulse of Old Norse-style verse, this illustrated epic unfolds across twenty-four runes and two volumes. Each chapter carries the essence of the source mythos through modern landscapes of illustration and runecraft.
It is a heart-wrenching, pulse-skipping journey through a Midgard that has forgotten the gods. And the god who walks among them still.
