“The Men Behind the Myth”
An interview with Jeff Butler the artist and a brief biography of Roy Thomas. A very interesting interview.
Back in the nineties there was this cool show. Produced by Sam Raimi and starring Kevin Sorbo it was a fun adventure show. A cheezy and tongue in cheek telling of the Greek mythology. Topps did this comic version of the show, and it is very true to the series. Plus, it has the genius of Roy Thomas writing. The art is also good. A great start to this series.
Comic book cave of awesome 
Can’t go wrong with Roy Thomas. Currently reading some of the Topps Lone Ranger stuff.
