The Mystical Emerald Man

---

Oz Recommends:

The Mystical Emerald Man is a refreshing take on the oversaturated superhero genre. Collin Lamping captures the charm and action of classic comics, from the bold colors and style of the Golden Age, to the complex and character driven stories of the Silver Age. Rather than merely calling back to old school aesthetics, Collin shows a true commitment to the classical myths and legends of the Ancient world, with a specific focus on Celtic folklore. The Mystical Emerald Man blends Old World tales of druids and fae with classic superhero staples like gangsters and science fiction.

The Mystical Emerald Man is not just an interesting take on the genre, however. Emerald Man and his accompanying gallery of allies and rogues are just as complex as the setting, moving seamlessly from heartbreak and tragedy to heroic fights and quips. The story's Christian focus comes from a fresh perspective too, as the faith is presented not as a sinister cult or a magical wish granting device, but as a real struggle, a challenge for those who stay close to the path. The fight for the Christian faith is the rock that allows The Mystical Emerald Man to balance its heavy storylines and classic comic book levity.

Collin Lamping has created a unique blend of classic comics, ancient legend and sincere faith, which is tied together with dynamic characters, drama and action. If you are tired of snarky self-conscious superheroes with thinly veiled therapy subplots and are looking for something that creates the same magic as the Golden Age of comics, look no further than The Mystical Emerald Man.
