The Ring Cycle as Comic Books

February 10, 2014 By Ian Sidden

The four comic books of the Ring Cycle

 

Just finished the comic book version of The Rhinegold from the Ring Cycle (Der Ring des Niebelungen) last night, which was complete with a creation myth, lightning bolts, rainbow bridges, naked Rhine Maidens, gods slaying giants, and treacherous dwarves.  It was full of gorgeous artwork and a nice prologue explaining some of the history of gods and giants. It was also very accurate to the opera, but took much less time to read than to watch.

Thank you, Jacob!
