| 1. Graphic Myths and Legends: Odysseus: Escaping Poseidon's Curse: a Greek Legend |

I teach students with learning disabilities. Some of my students struggle with reading, but are required to complete the same curriculum as their peers. This graphic novel is very helpful for students studying The Odyssey. The comic book style, colorful illustrations, and understandable text made it very appealing to my students. There is also a short index in the back that is helpful. I highly... more

|
By: Paul D. Storrie
Publisher: Graphic Universe

This is a well drawn, well written version of the Perseus myth. I esp. like that there's a glossary and a related-reading page at the end of the book. My kid is all into myths, and he's going into 3rd grade, so he's just reading for pleasure now. this is a great way to get him to read for pleasure.

| 4. Conan Volume 1: The Frost Giant's Daughter And Other Stories (Conan (Graphic Novels)) |
|
By: Kurt Busiek
Publisher: Dark Horse
April 13, 2005
I try to avoid cliché wording such as "must have". Still, this one is probably one of the most important graphical pieces on the topic of R. E. Howard's Conan I lay my hands and eyes on. Actually, all volumes drawn by Cary Nord deserve the status much to his credit (and R E Howard, of course, in the first place) - to the art which speaks for itself; Strong and distinctive as those done by Roy Thomas... more

| 5. Arthur & Lancelot: The Fight for Camelot (An English Legend) (Graphic Myths and Legends) | 
|
By: Jeff Limke
Publisher: Lerner Publications
2008-09
The only thing I could say against this story is that it may have too many words in the bubbles and narrations for low language proficiency learners. It suits advanced learners well. Nevertheless, it has good material for comprehension instruction strategies and it is well structured. We have to appreciate someone who is willing to dedicate more than one volume to the King Arthur legends and stories... more

| 7. King Arthur: King Arthur: Excalibur Unsheathed (Graphic Myths and Legends) |
|
By: Jeff Limke
Publisher: Graphic Universe
2007-10
Right off, I confess that I didn't read the whole book. I just looked at the first few pages in the on-line preview. That was enough to convince me not to purchase it. I don't know what sources the author used, but the idea that the sword-in-the-stone was located near Westminster Abbey is ludicrous. King Arthur is a semi-mythological figure lost in the mists of the post-Roman chaos in Britain. If there... more
