Jason: Quest for the Golden Fleece: A Greek Myth
Lerner Books (Graphic Universe) (48 pages) 9781580133210
The larger-than-life figures of Greek mythology are ideal subjects for picture-strip graphic-comics style treatment and this is a particularly successful example. It works brilliantly as a comic in the super-heroic tradition with images to grab the eye, and also as a retelling of a classic narrative broken up into well-phrased paragraphs and dialogue. The artwork and a few words tell vividly of such incidents as the planted seeds becoming the dead arising from the ground even as Jason ploughs on driving the two supernaturally fierce bulls he has subdued. The book also has a glossary of names, a select bibliography, notes on sources, and an index. While the story is treated with care and respect, it is in a superb bang-up-to-date, in your face, format.
