About 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific books, packaged into a nice set.
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2015
Verified Purchase
I purchased this set because one of the books (in the set) was listed as an option in my son's school summer reading list ... he is a reluctant reader ... a summer reading assignment is like torture to him ... he has to write two reading responses which will be graded before the school year even begins. (((ughhhh)))

I purchased the set because I like graphic novels, I love mythology and I hoped that my son might connect with the format enough to actually read one. (He won't do the summer assignments unless I make him; he'd rather get an F than do homework over the summer. Since I have to work him through them, I need to read his books ... might as well get one that I'll enjoy too ... )

Long story shortened, he's read 4 of them well enough to initiate a conversation about them (!!!), has expressed interest in reading the rest of the set and has already asked me if I would purchase more of the series. (((Mom doing a happy dance here!)))

Books are of excellent quality. Art is gorgeous and expressive. Stories are engaging. End notes (several pages) add depth and substance.

Highly recommend!

This is a BEAUTIFUL collection of olympian stories, from the artwork on each of the books to the poster that was included. The stories are true to the mythology, and I couldn't be happier with the product that I received! I will definitely be buying the rest of the Olympians for my classroom library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful introduction to Greek mythology
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2019

This series is well thought out, beautifully illustrated, and compelling to read. George O'Connor is faithful to the original material and provides intelligent choices on which myths to select and how to represent them. My 8 year old picked up the first one with little enthusiasm, but half an hour later he was hooked. Within a few days, all the books had been finished and I had to order the single issues of books 7-11. He has the Olympians poster up in his bedroom and goes through the "who's who" about once a week. We're eagerly awaiting the final book on Dionysus next year!

George O'Connor --The Oracle who enticed my child to read.

I picked up the Olympians box set after seeing George O'Connor at the 2015 Gaithersburg Book Festival and gave it to my son for his 10th birthday. Two weeks ago, we went on vacation to Rome and Greece, and he brought several of the books with him. We were impressed that our son, who normally does not like to read, was fully engrossed in George's books, spouting off figures and relationships between the gods, asking questions even I had to look up. Whenever we had questions about which god was father/mother/brother/sister, etc, we turned to the chart that George included with his books. Thank you, George, for writing an engaging and informative series of graphic novels that raptly hold the attention of the most difficult to reach age group--10-year-old boys. I lift a laurel wreath to you.

Anyone who likes Greek mythology will love the George O'Connor series and this is a nice boxed set that even comes with a cool poster to put up in your room. The stories are fun and true to the myths, well drawn, well paced - they're really good to read. Both myself and my kids loved these and got the whole lot.

4.0 out of 5 stars A mixed bag.
Reviewed in Australia on November 19, 2023

An entertaining read and generally true to the original sources such as Hesiod. Generally, until Hera, whom for some reason the author has determined his own alternative sanitised view. She is almost a completely different character to the myths, now removed from her worst sins with different motivations given. A pity as her story is one of the most interesting of the gods, and here she is rather one dimensional, and more importantly, not the same god as greek myth. Fortunately other stories generally keep to the mythology of the original greek storytellers. A bit of Persephone's story (and most characters) is the imagination of the author but doesn't actually conflict with the mythology, rather it pads out the unwritten.
It's also worth noting that a lot of these books focus on other characters with the god of the title playing a supporting role. Hades is much more about Demeter and Persephone, Athena shares the Perseus story, Hera is more about Heracles (with Hera portrayed as a benelovent task master). I enjoyed this to some extent, as it is through their interactions with mortals that we learn about the gods. It works in some, but is disappointing in others such as Hades, as we learn literally nothing about his story outside of the kidnapping of his bride.
This seems aimed at a young teenage market and cleverly portrays scenes such as the castration of uranus as a literal scything of the sky, which is indeed what it was. Coming so early in the series this scene raised my expectations, but sadly that was probably the highpoint of the collection.
In all an enjoyable read but i'm still waiting for an adult graphic novel that stays true to the sources, warts and all.

SImply put, these books are awesome. As a long time comic collector and occasional reader of greek myths I thought I'd hear them all. I think I learn something new in each one of these. I quite like George O'Connors spin on the stories and really look forward to more of his work. He's clearly plotted things out with a few references in some books back to scenes in previous ones. Nice job.
