Achilles is no box-office stud quickly approaching age forty, but a young warrior still in his teens, seeking his destiny and questioning his relationship to his family and fellow warriors.
The site of Troy, the ancient city which, according to legend, was besieged by the massive Greek army in the Late BronzeAge, was rediscovered in the nineteenth century by the amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, a self-made millionaire about whom controversy still rages.
Age of Bronze: Sacrifice is published in hardcover by Image Comics.
