George O'Connor is an author, illustrator and cartoonist. His first graphic novel, Journey Into Mohawk Country, used as its sole text the actual historical journal of the seventeenth-century Dutch trader Harmen Meyndertsz van den Bogaert, and told the true story of how New York almost wasn't. He followed that up with Ball Peen Hammer, the first graphic novel written by playwright Adam Rapp, a dark, dystopian view of a society's collapse. Now he has brought his attention to Olympians, an ongoing series retelling the classic Greek myths in comics form. In addition to his graphic novel career, O'Connor has published several children's picture books, including the New York Times best-selling Kapow, Sally and the Some-Thing, and Uncle Bigfoot. He lives in Brooklyn, NY.
"Praise for the Olympians series: ""O'Connor, a self-proclaimed Greek mythology obsessive, has done something wonderful: He's turned the tales of those adventuresome, rascally, feuding, power-mad Greek gods into a nifty set of gorgeously drawn, well-researched graphic novels that kids go nuts for.""--New York Times Praise for Olympians: Hera: ""Definitely worth a visit for any young demigod."" --Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series ""Readers . . . will be delighted with this debut title in the Olympians series of graphic novels."" --Bulletin of the Cener for Children's Books, starred review"
