Bacchus and Simpson travel to Sicily in this first issue of a brand new four-issue series written and drawn by Eddie Campbell. While Bacchus waxes poetic on the Greek god Hephaistus, who set up shop in Sicily back when it was still "The Land of Persephone". Vinnie Bossonova has become a target for Sicily's all-too-modern-day inhabitants-the Mafia! Writer/artist Campbell, illustrator of Alan Moore's From Hell and creator of the outrageous Eyeball Kid as well as the autobiographical Alec stories, puts a novel twist on the characters of Greek mythology (especially the wine-enamored Bacchus). This is the first full-length Bacchus story, and demonstrates his growth as an artist and a storyteller.
