Villa Of The Mysteries - Mack White

Villa of the Mysteries #1, published by Fantagraphics in January 1996, is the debut issue of Mack White's surreal and satirical comic series. This 32-page black-and-white comic delves into themes of pagan rituals, secret societies, and esoteric spirituality, blending elements of humor and fantasy. The issue includes stories such as "This Is MK-Ultra, Baby," featuring a rock star named Dion Nysos who returns to his hometown, and "The Temptation of St. Epiphanius," among others. White's clean, distinct line work evokes a clear sense of surrealism, offering a unique take on the struggle between Christianity and paganism. The series only lasted three issues, reflecting the shifting tastes in the alternative comics scene of the late 1990s.
