A Fascinating Reimagining of a European Legend- Wolfsmund is a retelling of the William Tell legend with a focus on an actual landmark in the Uri district of Switzerland, the Devil’s Bridge at St. Gotthard Pass. Filled with action, politics and drama it has all the makings of The Game of Thrones, but told through a historical fiction perspective. Amazing Artistic Pedigree- There are few comic artists respected more than Kentaro Miura and Kaoru Mori, and in her debut work Mitsuhisa Kuji continues the tradition of rich detailed design and art she honed while working for those big time names. Kuji’s backgrounds beautifully render medieval Europe while her striking character designs work well in moments of drama as well as action. In the Vein of Hit Fantasy Works- Wolfsmund comes from a long line of great fantasy works and given the rising popularity of role-playing games, The Hobbit and The Game of Thrones, Wolfsmund is destined to find itself an audience with a customer base hungry for quality.
