50 nuances de grecs #2

The second volume of Jul and Charles Pépin's irreverent encyclopédie des mythes et des mythologies arrives with a cover that sets the comedic tone perfectly: a wooden Trojan Horse on wheels, cheekily branded "Uber," stands before the walls of Troy while a motley crowd of gods, heroes, and monsters looks on — one figure even holds a "#MythToo" banner. It's a playful collision of ancient mythology and very 2019 sensibilities that promises the same sharp wit and genuine affection for Greek myth that made the series a delight. Published by Dargaud, this is exactly the kind of bande dessinée that makes you laugh and learn in equal measure.
