George O"Connor is a Greek mythology buff and a classic superhero comics fan, and he"s out to remind us how much our pantheon of superheroes (Superman, Batman, the X-Men, etc) owes to mankind"s ORIGINAL superheroes: the Greek pantheon. In OLYMPIANS, O"Connor draws from primary documents to reconstruct and retell classic Greek myths. But these stories aren"t sedate, scholarly works. They"re action-packed, fast-paced, high-drama adventures, with monsters, romance, and not a few huge explosions. O"Connor"s vibrant, kinetic art brings ancient tales to undeniable life, in a perfect fusion of super-hero aesthetics and ancient Greek mythology.  Volume 1 of OLYMPIANS, ZEUS: King OF THE GODS, introduces readers to the ruler of the Olympian Pantheon, telling his story from his boyhood to his ascendance to supreme power.Â
