Summary

"If you've ever wanted to go on a quest, defeat a dragon, or rob from the rich, read this entertaining book. Find out how the brainy and brawny figures in myths and legends from different cultures measure up against each other. From ancient Greek heroes to modern superheroes, some were part god, some were part beast, and a few might even have been real people. Full-color comic illustrations are splashed throughout the witty, bite-sized chunks of fact-filled text."--, Provided by publisher
