DESCRIPTION
Melinoe is an original comic series that I am passionately creating, which blends the thrilling elements of modern crime with the mystical realms of Greek and Norse mythology. This unique fusion is brought to life through my writing and illustrations, where humor meets horror in an unexpected dance of genres.
My deep appreciation for mythology and literature serves as the foundation for this project. It is from this love that Melinoe has emerged, a creative endeavor that aims to captivate readers with its innovative storytelling and vivid artwork. Each page is a testament to the enduring power of these ancient stories, reimagined for a modern audience seeking adventure and a touch of the supernatural.

Welcome to her world ...
"Melinoe" is a gripping novel that introduces us to a unique heroine, a coroner with the ability to converse with the dead. This extraordinary power comes from her divine lineage - she's the daughter of Hades, the Greek god of the underworld. To shield her from Zeus, his omnipotent brother, Hades sends Melinoe to the mortal world under the protection of Tyr, a formidable Norse warrior.
Melinoe is a character full of contrasts. She's sarcastic and brazen, yet also possesses a brilliant mind and heart of gold. Using her supernatural abilities, she solves murder cases that baffle even the most seasoned detectives. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when she's pulled back into the divine realm due to an ancient prophecy foretelling of Zeus's downfall.
The story weaves together elements of mystery, danger, and mythology, creating a thrilling journey where gods and humans are bound by shared destinies. "Melinoe" is a tale of a woman standing tall amidst the chaos, navigating both the concrete jungle and the games of gods.
