Achterflaptekst:
Tales of the orishas combines African-Brazilian culture with the silver age comic aesthetics of Jack Kirby into a riveting tale of high adventure.
A graphic novel exploring Afro-Brazilian myths and legends in a tale of epic fantasy!
Behold... the world of the Orishas. In ancient times, when heaven and Earth were as united as two halves of a gourd, deities and heroes walked among mortals. They fought battles with fury and taught the ways of the ashe (the energy of creation), land, iron, and fire. They reigned and loved with great intensity. Some descended from the luminous Orun, to live their lives and fulfill their destinies, while others were born in the Aiye, and through their great deeds became Orishas, changing forever the history of two continents.
The story centers around a celestial battle between the deities from the Afro-Brazilian pantheon and a fearsome conquering force led by a dark and malevolent overlord. King Shango is summoned by Queen Oshun to defend the mysterious City of Waters, threatened by a conqueror and his invading force. At his side are Oya, lady of lightning, the messenger Exu, and the warrior Ogun. Together, they will fight and lead his people to victory while the fate of creation hangs in the balance.
