Because You Believed in Me: Mentors and Proteges Who Shaped Our World, Anniversary Edition





Because You Believed in Me: Mentors and Proteges Who Shaped Our World, Anniversary Edition



by Marcia A. McMullen  (Author), Patricia M. Miller (Author)



It only takes one—one person, one unexpected possibility, one ordinary moment of insight to create a life-changing experience. Who was the one person who took that moment and offered needed motivation or created an opportunity that inspired you in ways never imagined?
Mentors see you as you are and awaken the potential for what you could be. They often appear in varied roles: teachers, family members, professional colleagues, influential leaders or friends.

Story

There probably isn't a single man in the world who hasn't heard at least one legend about the brave Viking gods. Odin, Thor, Loki or Freya. The legend of the lords of the lands and seas. Conquerors so dangerous and fearless, so terrifying and savage, that they are ferociously fascinating, tempting to explore, to get to know and to experience their unique world.

The comic book series INCREDIBLE NORSE MYTHS AND LEGENDS is a collection of myths arranged in chronological order, full of magic, joy, exciting adventures, but also cruelty and violence. These are the stories of the Scandinavian people written in an interesting and funny way, they're intricately supplemented with amazing drawings and most importantly they're - UNCENSORED!
"By describing the stories of the Norse Gods with the help of illustrations and the raw dialogue in them, I tried to, as faithfully as possible, reflect the soul of the Icelandic poet and historian Snorri Sturluson's work (he lived in the years 1179–1241). This work titled Edda was created in the years 1215 - 1223.   



INCREDIBLE NORSE MYTHS AND LEGENDS (+18) is an amazing comic book series. They're an atmosphere and a mystery that you will be able to feel only after breaking the wax seal and unpacking the first issue of the series. Then you will smell the fresh printing ink, the smell mixed with something else... With the magic of ancient Scandinavia!

 Let this collection of myths, which you hold in your hands, become a gateway to the realms of mythical beings, to the Kingdom of Aesirs and Vanir, the realms of giants, elves, dwarfs and magic. Let their newly written story shed new light on that which has passed and that which has yet to occur. Because it is without a doubt going to…Anna Barbara Mazurkiewicz (writer)

Risks and challenges

The comic is now finished and ready for printing. All the creators involved in this project are professionals with experience and an excellent track record in tackling difficult topics and pressing deadlines. However, there's always a risk that things like printing, packing and shipping will take a little longer than expected. We will try to keep everyone informed about the progress of the work, and to be 100% transparent.
