El antiguo mito irlandés — The Hound of Ulster — se vuelve a contar para una audiencia contemporánea en Hound, por los maestros narradores Paul J. Bolger (The Land Before Time, Cool World), Barry Devlin (Un hombre sin importancia, U2: Making of Rattle & Hum) y Dee Cunniffe (Machine Gun Wizards, Redneck).

En el 50 a. C., Morrigan, la diosa de la guerra, se ha vuelto inquieta mientras una paz duradera se instala en Irlanda. Decidiendo que el tiempo de paz debe terminar, elige a Setanta, el sobrino del rey del norte, para convertirse en su pupilo. Después de que un joven Setanta mata al sabueso demoníaco de Cullan, se le conoce como Cú Cullan, el sabueso de Cullan. A medida que Cú Cullan envejece, es evidente que dentro de él reside un poder extraordinario. . . y una gran oscuridad. Cuando elige la vida tranquila de un granjero en lugar de la espada, Morrigan, enojado por la traición, instiga una invasión a su tierra natal y Cú Cullan debe desafiar al destino mismo para mantener a raya a la diosa.

NOTA DE PRENSA OFICIAL ORIGINAL

PAUL J. BOLGER AND BARRY DEVLIN ADAPT AN IRISH LEGEND AT DARK HORSE COMICS

The Goddess of War has Chosen Her Ward.

MILWAUKIE, Ore., (August 26, 2021)—The ancient, Irish myth—The Hound of Ulster—is retold for a contemporary audience in Hound, by master storytellers Paul J. Bolger (The Land Before Time, Cool World), Barry Devlin (A Man of No Importance, U2: Making of Rattle & Hum), and Dee Cunniffe (Machine Gun Wizards, Redneck).   In 50 BCE, Morrigan, the goddess of war, has become restless as a long-lasting peace settles over Ireland. Deciding the time of peace must end, she chooses Setanta, the nephew of the king of the north, to become her ward. After a young Setanta slays the demon-hound of Cullan, he becomes known as Cú Cullan—The Hound of Cullan. As Cú Cullan grows older, it is apparent that an extraordinary power lies within him . . . and a great darkness. When he chooses the quiet life of a farmer over the sword, Morrigan, angry at the betrayal, instigates an invasion of his homeland and Cú Cullan must challenge fate itself to keep the goddess at bay.   Hound hardcover will be available everywhere books are sold March 9, 2022.
