A collection of the full story so far. A decade in the making. This book is a beauty. The quick version is that it’s a retelling of the Greek myth of Prometheus set in the present day. But it’s so much more than that. Here are some quotes.

“…an extraordinary reinvention of some of our oldest stories. Nilsen brings these old gods to an electrifying new life, and gives us a new sense of humanity as well.” —Alexander Chee

“Tongues is a landmark book not only in the history of the graphic novel, but in the history of mythic storytelling”. —Max Porter

“Tongues is absolutely astonishing… I didn’t want the story to end.” —Leela Corman

“#$&@ing amazing.” —Charles Burns
