The legendary sorceress from Greek myth has been cast as many things-a caring mother and a passionate lover who was thwarted by her desires; an independent woman vilified for refusing the tyranny of men; a barbarian who sowed confusion in the regimented world of the Greeks; a formidable witch, mistress of occult forces. Simply put, she was precisely what some would call a monster. And yet, there is so much more to Medea...
This provocative tale is created by writer Blandine Le Callet and artist Nancy Pena, with an English translation by Montana Kane.
