    Boasting a "Greek Chorus" of sexy strippers, vengeful gangsters, a murderous youth and a disturbed clairvoyant teenaged girl, GREEK STREET is Peter Milligan's reimagining of the brutal and visceral tragedies of Ancient Greece played out on the mean streets of modern-day London. This first paperback collects issues #1-5 of the provocative new series.

    ----------

    Lust, rage, pride, vengeance -- these are the appetites that drove the tales and tragedies of the ancient Greeks. Now, on the streets of modern-day London, everything old is new again. The dark desires that doomed the likes of the Oedipus, Agamemnon and Medea are calling to a new breed of royals and rogues. Strippers and psychics, cops and killers, peers of the realm and lords of the city -- all of them have their part to play in a deadly drama that's thousands of years old, yet always needs new blood to spill.

    Introduction done by Mike Carey.

    The old stories do not die. 0

    Peter Milligan is great at taking an old story and reworking it.  He is the man who took Homer's Odyssey and mashed in up into the Tank Girl universe.  His methods are not always conventional, but he does get the job done.  Greek Street is his new Vertigo series were the old great Greek comedies and tragedies come to life once more on the area of London know conveniently enough as Greek Street. The first story arc is the story of Eddie, who may just be the new Oedipus.  But this book is more the...
