Les Petits Mythos #2

A delightful all-ages romp through ancient Greece, this second volume of Les Petits Mythos by Cazenove and Larbier takes on the myth of Icarus with irresistible cartoon energy. The cover sets the playful tone perfectly: a wide-eyed young Icarus tumbles dramatically from the sky in a burst of feathers and light, while below, a comically panicked crow-like character charges forward in a frenzy, with other surprised figures scrambling nearby amid a sun-baked Greek landscape. Published by Bamboo Édition in 2012, this series has a knack for making the gods and heroes of antiquity utterly, hilariously approachable for readers of all ages.
