About the series
Kieron Gillen and Ryan Kelly's "Three" (2013–2014) is a five-issue Image Comics miniseries set in ancient Sparta, told from the perspective of its helots—the oppressed servant class. Rather than focusing on the legendary warriors, the story follows three helots on the run after a brutal act of defiance, exploring themes of tyranny and rebellion. With Ryan Kelly's detailed, expressive art grounding the historical setting, the series offers a gritty, humanistic counterpoint to the typical heroic epic.
