Review of 'Gilgamesh II' on 'Goodreads'

Jim Starlin reimagines the epic of Gilgamesh in an dystopian future. Here, Gilgamesh is an alien, stranded on Earth as an infant, and to his knowledge the only survivor of his species - until he meets Otto (this graphic novel's version of Enkidu). An interesting take on a story that has fascinated readers for a long, long time now (the epic of Gilgamesh originates about 2100 BC!).
