Olympians #4
In Olympians #4, George O'Connor delivers a hauntingly beautiful chapter of the myth of Persephone, known here as Kore, as she is taken into the realm of the dead by Hades. Her mother’s grief brings eternal winter to the earth, setting the stage for a cycle where Kore divides her time between the Underworld and Olympus—winter below, spring and summer above. With art, writing, and inking by George O'Connor, and cover by George O'Connor, this 2012 issue captures the myth’s emotional core with quiet power.
