Xerxes: Der Niedergang des Hauses Dareios und der Aufstieg Alexanders

Von Frank Miller

Die Vorgeschichte zu 300 von Frank Miller im prächtigen Sammelband!

Xerxes, der gottgleiche König der Perser, zieht aus, um die Welt zu unterwerfen. Sein Feldzug soll die Niederlage seines Vaters Darius rächen und ein Königreich begründen, wie es noch nie zuvor jemand gesehen hat. Doch die Griechen widersetzen sich – und stellen Xerxes ihren eigenen Gottkönig entgegen: Alexander den Großen.

XERXES behandelt die Ereignisse vor der Schlacht bei den Thermopylen, in der die tapferen Spartiaten unter König Leonidas ihr glorreiches Ende gefunden haben. Mit Farben von Alex Sinclair (THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS).
