Wagner/Seiter: Gutenberg and the secret of the Sibyl
Graphic Novel

What troubled the bishop, was that all the copies were absolutelyy identical, as if the scribe tasked with copying them had been able to reproduce the same text an infinite number of times without the tiniest difference.
This intrigued the Pope enough for him to ask his friend Cosimo de' Medici to investigate it. So in December 1438, four Italian cut-throats embarked for Strasbourg. They very quickly focused on a Mainz exile by the name of Johannes Gensfleisch, known as Gutenberg. In reality, with his partners Andreas Dritzehn, Hans Rifle and Andreas Heilmann, Gutenberg had founded an enterprise that was far more mysterious...
