Bacchus, Vol. 4 by Eddie Campbell

An episodic, wryly comic collection that follows an exhausted, aging god of wine as he drifts through modern life—running pubs, trading tall tales, and sparring with myth and mortality. The book stitches together barroom vignettes, flashbacks and small adventures that juxtapose ancient legend with blue-collar reality, balancing bawdy humor and an undercurrent of melancholy. Spare, conversational storytelling and rough, expressive artwork emphasize character and voice, creating a bittersweet portrait of gods reduced to drunks, raconteurs and reluctant survivors in a world that has moved on.
