Eric Shanower is definitely a talent deserving wider recognition.
After graduation from Novato (California) High School in 1981, he attended the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in Dover, New Jersey. Shortly after graduation in 1984, he received his first professional comics assignment. In 1986, The Enchanted Apples of Oz was published, the first in Shanower's series of graphic novels continuing the Oz books by L. Frank Baum.
After finishing the final Oz graphic novel in 1991, Shanower began research for Age of Bronze, his comics retelling of the Trojan War legend.
Meanwhile, he published various other projects including An Accidental Death and Prez: Smells Like Teen President with writer Ed Brubaker, The Elsewhere Prince with Moebius (Jean Giraud) and Randy and Jean-Marc Lofficier, and founded Hungry Tiger Press with his partner David Maxine.
Age of Bronze began publication in 1998. Shanower continues to write and draw Age of Bronze as well as illustrate comics, books, and other media."

AGE OF BRONZE Vol 1: A THOUSAND SHIPS
IMAGE CENTRAL/HUNGRY TIGER PRESS - 224 pages
The Trojan War is one of the world's most enduring and exciting epics. Great poets of every age have told the story, each in his own way—-Homer, Euripides, Virgil, Ovid, Chaucer, and Shakespeare. Countless others have told the story, too, adding to and expanding on earlier versions.
In the 1870s, German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann revealed to a fascinated world the remains of the ancient city of Troy. Ever since, excavations at Troy and elsewhere have shed light on the Late Bronze Age culture of the eastern Mediterranean, the world of the Trojan War. Now, Eric Shanower combines the various Trojan War legends with the findings of archaeology to present a new retelling of the Trojan War, built on the foundations of the past, but uniquely envisioned for today's readers by a modern cartoonist.
A Thousand Ships brings to vibrant life the prelude to the Trojan War. Here, once more, shines the glory of Troy. Here the famous names of legend breathe again, Achilles, Odysseus, Paris, Agamemnon . . . and Helen, the face that launched a thousand ships.
AVAILABLE IN HC, SC or SIGNED LTD ED of 300
