Unleashing the Mythological Epic: Age of Canaan by Nir Levie – A Graphic Novel Adventure of Gods and Heroes

Embark on a thrilling adventure with the Ancient gods of Canaan in Age of Canaan by Nir Levie. This dynamic fantasy graphic novel interweaves five tales from the 13th century BC Ugaritic chronicles. From epic battles mirroring the seasons to tragic vengeance and divine conflicts, each story unfolds in a captivating tapestry of action.

In the realm of gods and heroes, Akhat, adorned with a divine bow, faces the wrath of Anat, the passionate goddess, who covets his enchanted weapon. Akhat’s bold defiance sparks a furious vendetta, and as Anat dispatches her formidable falcon warrior to end his tale, an unexpected hero, Paghat, fueled by grief and rage, steps forward to rewrite the destiny set by the gods.

Delving into the vast tapestry of human mythological history reveals an abundance of narratives, with only a fraction standing the relentless test of time. The stories that endure are often the ones co-opted by major religions, leaving behind a concealed wealth of untapped tales. As a descendant of Jewish heritage, Nir Levie’s fascination lies in narratives untouched by the fingerprints of contemporary religious ideologies.

Nir, an Inkwell Award-winning architect, artist, and comic creator, pushes the boundaries of storytelling with projects like Bioripple (Heavy Metal) and collaborations with Humanoids. Through innovative and unique narratives, he challenges conventional laws of the universe, inviting readers to reconsider their perceptions of the world.
