"The generation weaned on the Marvel Universe will find much to love in O’Connor’s 12-book series." —New York Times

George O’Connor’s vibrant and kinetic art brings ancient tales to life in the bestselling Olympians series. This fusion of super-hero aesthetics and ancient Greek mythology is perfect for fans of Percy Jackson!

In this volume of Olympians, George O’Connor delves into the myth of Hermes, the trickster god. From his infancy, when he bewitches animals and bends them to his will (stealing a herd of Apollo’s prize cattle in the bargain), to his adolescence and adulthood when he becomes father to the equally mischievous Pan, Hermes’s story is wildly entertaining as he brings a little bit of chaos to everything he touches or creates. This volume is sure to be a fan favorite with its wit, charm, and storytelling.
