A graphic novel adaptation of the legendary adventures of Hercules, the mighty hero of Greek mythology, perfect for ages 10–14.

Born of a mortal woman and the king of the gods, Hercules is blessed with extraordinary strength. The goddess Hera commands that the mighty Hercules must undergo twelve incredible tasks to pay for a mistake he made in the past.

But not all the gods support him, and Hercules faces difficult tasks that test his strength and his mind.
