Aaah, I love this poem and song... it's been running through my head this whole time that I've been binge-reading your comic XD
...and also had me come to realise that the three characters I got the most excited about are all various incarnations of death...

Just found out today, that the translation of Goethe's version into English, was Sir Walter Scott's first bigger project

Ah, so many memories of Dietrich Fischer Dieskau, and of my own progress through Lieder's enchanting, yet demanding, journeys. Well done on making all fans of German lore, Goethe, and lieder simultaneously sigh, and some of them burst into song. (Just for the ErlkΓΆnig, mind)

Uuuh, creepy! (in a good way)
I had to learn this poem by heart for class once. Ah, Goethe, how we love thee...

I love /love/ how you've drawn this in pencil, rather than with your pen! It adds a lot, I think. X3

The translation should be somewhere on the same page.

Wait, that kid looks like Jareth! Was Jareth originally a child stolen away from his parents? If so, that would be cool and tragic

//feels awesome, can read without the English translation//
The last panel on the right is simply amazing to me, the depth with just (from what I can tell) a pencil. Your just such an amazing artist

It's very cool to read a comic with a literary german masterpiece. I adore this poem and his creator.

Ah... The poetry of Erlkonig. Never thought I will see that in the comic. And in its own language too. However, can you ink the comic? It was a bit hard to read the poetry. >>;

At this stage, I can't, primarily because of health (and by the time that clears up, I will be backlogged sooooo badly.) However, the translation I used is the one on Wikipedia (shhh, don't tell!), so it should be easily accessible if you're curious.

Hope you will get better soon. >:
As for the poetry, I did read it from that website since he made his appearance. LOL XD However, it's nice to see the poetry. And uh... you just kinda told everyone where you got the translation from. >>;

Who rides there so late through the night dark and drear?
The father it is, with his infant so dear;
He holdeth the boy tightly clasp'd in his arm,
He holdeth him safely, he keepeth him warm.
"My son, wherefore seek'st thou thy face thus to hide?"
"Look, father, the Alder King is close by our side!
Dost see not the Alder King, with crown and with train?"
"My son, 'tis the mist rising over the plain."

I heard this as music before I read it as a poem. I adore it as a song. ^.^ I got excited when I realized you're illustrating it
