Review by Horn Book Review

Each comic tells a condensed version of a myth or legend. The colorful art is dramatic, but the retellings are often disjointed, with mid-story jumps and endings that trail away. Each book begins with an introduction (on the copyright page) and includes an explanation of the author's and illustrator's creation processes. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Graphic Myths and Legends titles: The Trojan Horse, Isis & Osiris, King Arthur, Thor & Loki, and Hercules.] (c) Copyright 2010.
