Before our cities… Before our empires…
Before our written history…
There was Enoch!
An dark fantasy graphic novel set at the dawn of human civilization.
written and illustrated by Eric M. Young
This is a reimagining of our oldest mythologies to rediscovers the lost chapters in human history.
The Giants of Enoch is a mythic fantasy graphic novel set at the dawn of human civilization - a time when the first spoken language has unified humanity, mystical symbols are unlocking new powers, and the first empire is rising from the ruins of the natural world.
The city of Enoch stands as the heart of humanity’s first great empire, unified under King Cain. But what began as a golden age of order and progress has degenerated into tyranny, enforced through violence, fear, and blood-alchemy. The empire he built now threatens to destroy all life on Earth.
The Resistance
Among those who stand against the empire is Rhyden, a master warrior of a secret order known as the Prometheans - shamanic guardians who once served all mankind before the empire turned against them.
Rhyden is tasked with protecting two orphaned brothers who have been chosen by the runes. Alongside a young alchemist named Thornn, he must guide them all through ravaged battlefields, ancient ruins, and the dark heart of the underworld itself - all while fighting off the empire's forces.
Their destination: Lord Enoch, the fallen king’s own son - a mythic hero and now the empire’s greatest enemy.
At its core, The Giants of Enoch is an story about young men struggling to survive and to find their place in a world that wants to take everything from them.

Enoch is not just a city but a man, the son of Cain and the main character that my entire mythic universe is built around.
He is a mysterious and mythical warrior and the only one who can triumph over his father, Cain.
This is NOT a story about Enoch from the ancient Book of Enoch (although some themes like Giants and Fallen Angels will overlap.)
There are two people named "Enoch" in the book of Genesis. The famous Enoch is the grandfather of Noah and the main character in ancient apocrypha "Books of Enoch." The less known Enoch is Cain's first born son. I have taken this unknown Enoch and created my own narrative around his relationship with his father Cain and the path they set humanity on.
