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.

Reviews
"An excellent addition to graphic novel and Greek mythology collections."--School Library Journal, starred review
"O'Connor offers a portrait of the Wild Goddess of the Hunt as probably the last of the Olympians you'd want to cross." --Kirkus "O'Connor's cinematic artwork is an enthusiastic vehicle for these tales, with plenty of action and an expressive, strong deity at its center."--Booklist
