At the library I met with the author/illustrator of many graphic novels, George O'Connor. He is super funny and in his books he writes the great story and adds great illustrations to make epic books. He's most famous for his Olympians series, retelling the stories of the Greek gods. The Olympians books are the reason I love his writing.
The books tell Greek myths in an inspiring graphic novel format. The books are serious and some parts have jokes. My favorite Olympians book is Zeus: King of the Gods, because it tells about the dawn of time and how Mount Olympus was chosen. I also love Hades: Lord of the Dead, because it tells how you get to the Greek myth underworld. His books are for people who love Greek myths. I love the art work so much, I based a comic strip character off of how he draws the Cyclopes.
His next series after the last Olympians book which is about Hestia and Dionysus is Norse gods. Since I don't know much about Norse so I am looking forward to that.
The library class where I met him was super fun. We got to make our own comics from random slips of paper out of three hats. I got, "A talking cactus goes to buy a pony at Sesame Street"
