The Argonauts are the greatest heroes in Greek mythology—brave, forthright, and selfless! Or
ARE
they? Dive into this funny, actionpacked adventure and discover the
real
heroes: the monsters. Created by NYT bestselling author Joshua Pruett (
Last Comics on Earth
) and perfect for fans of superheroes and endless jokes.
Gyro and the Argonauts
tells the totally (
mostly
) true story of the first “Greek Geek,” a super fanboy vineyard grapesquisher named Gyro (like the sandwich), who learns there's so
much more
to the maligned monsters of mythology (such as the CYCLOPS, the MINOTAUR, and even MEDUSA herself), and so much
less
to his favorite heroes (including Perseus, Heracles, and Pegasus)
than he ever dreamed. All this happens when he joins the crew of the intrepid Argonauts and learns to never meet your heroes (think:
The Avengers,
if the Avengers were all buttheads).
This sidesplitting, voicedriven, and SUPER OUTRAGEOUS series follows Gyro (pronounced heeroh) on his journey to become a hero.
In addition to fun, pertinent, and timeless themes, readers will also learn fascinating facts from Greek and Roman mythology (like the fact that Bellerophon, not Perseus, rode Pegasus the flying horse—and no, dear reader, we didn’t know that, either!).
With bestselling author Joshua Pruett's hilarious and heartwarming prose, cover illustration by Annie Awardwinning storyboard artist and character designer Anthony Holden (
SpiderMan: Across the Universe
and
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,
among many more), and beautifully illustrated chapter headers by renowned comic artist Amanda Castillo (
Mapmakers and the Flickering Fortress
), this series starter is set to be a riotous and thrilling ride aboard the
Argo.
Where
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
meets
Clash of the Titans,
and probably in between some slices of pita, you’ll find
Gyro and the Argonauts!
“
With big laughs, big heart, and big monsters,
is timeless fun for everyone!
” – Max Brallier, sandwich expert and
author of the #1
New York Times
bestselling series
The Last Kids on Earth
is a hilarious, adventurous, and nailbiting twist on Greek mythology tropes with a welldeveloped cast of zany characters ... Gyro is the new hero we all need: courageous, monster friending, and true to himself.” – Demetra Brodsky, awardnominated author of
