Reviews

These comic booklike versions depict the old Greek tales of magical creatures and superhuman men interacting with the gods, briefly sketched in small narrative blocks and energetic, dark-toned graphic scenes.-- "School Library Journal"
This is a good introductory series for those ready for more complexity and darkness in their mythology. Caption bubbles are used to provide additional information about myths, geography, and specific characters.-- "School Library Connection"
