If you need a crash course on the twelve Labors of Hercules, this is the graphic novel for you. Needing a visual source for some of my sixth graders, this graphic novel wins out over others I've seen in terms of appropriateness for the age group (i.e. no nudity to giggle about), simplicity in language (not too simple, but the students won't be confused), and length (short and sweet!).

Pretty good graphic novel to get the young 'uns into Hercules' story. It leaves out the somewhat crucial aspect of him murdering his children ( I guess that makes sense), but it gives a good grounding into the Twelve Labour's, and the artwork is good. If I wanted to be whiny, I'd say it portrays him as a wisecracking 80s hero, but seeing as I grew up on those guys, I'll give it a hall pass.
