Review Quotes
"O'Connor's brand of classical mythology for modern sensibilities serves as a good introduction to the gods and settings of the Greek myths." --Publishers Weekly
"The writing is well done, the story line is interesting and moves quickly, the characters are colorful, and this adventure is exciting." --Children's Literature "O'Connor's artwork remains as strong as ever, especially in the glorious illustrations of the underworld." --VOYA "Atmospheric, with descriptions and images of the Underworld that are so captivating that readers will pore over those pages again and again. O'Connor's illustrations, filled with lots of color and haunting illuminations, are well suited to this exciting story and will attract even the most reluctant readers." --School Library Journal Praise for the Olympians series: "The generation weaned on the Marvel Universe will find much to love in O'Connor's 12-book series. He faithfully depicts the origin stories and exploits of the major gods and goddesses, but in the style and language of classic superhero comics." --New York Times "Definitely worth a visit for any young demigod." --Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series "This series is a must for every graphic novel collection." --SLJ Good Comics for Kids "A first-rate series." --Kirkus ReviewsAbout the Author
George O'Connor is the New York Times-bestselling author of Olympians, the series of graphic novels featuring the tragic, dramatic, and epic lives of the Greek Pantheon and its counterpart featuring the Norse Gods, the series Asgardians. His first graphic novel, Journey into Mohawk Country, pushed the boundaries of the genre, using as its sole text the actual historical journal of the seventeenth-century Dutch trader Harmen Meyndertsz van den Bogaert. He also illustrated acclaimed playwright Adam Rapp's Ball Peen Hammer. He teamed up with writer Daniel G. Newman on Unrig: How to Fix Our Broken Democracy, the first volume in the World Citizen Comics series. George is also the creator of popular picture books such as the New York Times-bestselling Kapow! and If I Had a Triceratops. He lives in Brooklyn, New York.Dimensions (Overall): 9.8 Inches (H) x 7.4 Inches (W) x .3 Inches (D)
