The Argonauts are the greatest heroes in Greek mythology—brave, forthright, and selfless! Or ARE they? Dive into this funny, action-packed adventure and discover the real heroes: the monsters. Created by NYT bestselling author Joshua Pruett (Last Comics on Earth) and perfect for fans of superheroes and endless jokes.“With big laughs, big heart, and big monsters, Gyro and the Argonauts is timeless fun for everyone!” – Max Brallier, sandwich expert and author of the #1 New York Times bestselling series The Last Kids on Earth“Gyro and the Argonauts is a hilarious, adventurous, and nail-biting twist on Greek mythology tropes with a well-developed cast of zany characters ... Gyro is the new hero we all need: courageous, monster friending, and true to himself.” – Demetra Brodsky, award-nominated author of Last Girls and Dive Smack (and actual Greek)Gyro and the Argonauts tells the totally (mostly) true story of the first “Greek Geek,” a super fanboy vineyard grape-squisher named Gyro (like the sandwich), who learns there's so much more to the maligned monsters of mythology (such as the CYCLOPS, the MINOTAUR, and even MEDUSA herself), and so much less to his favorite heroes (including Perseus, Heracles, and Pegasus)than he ever dreamed. All this happens when he joins the crew of the intrepid Argonauts and learns to never meet your heroes (think: The Avengers, if the Avengers were all buttheads).This side-splitting, voice-driven, and SUPER OUTRAGEOUS series follows Gyro (pronounced hee-roh) on his journey to become a hero.In addition to fun, pertinent, and timeless themes, readers will also learn fascinating facts from Greek and Roman mythology (like the fact that Bellerophon, not Perseus, rode Pegasus the flying horse—and no, dear reader, we didn’t know that, either!).With bestselling author Joshua Pruett's hilarious and heartwarming prose, cover illustration by Annie Award-winning storyboard artist and character designer Anthony Holden (Spider-Man: Across the Universe and Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, among many more), and beautifully illustrated chapter headers by renowned comic artist Amanda Castillo (Mapmakers and the Flickering Fortress), this series starter is set to be a riotous and thrilling ride aboard the Argo. Where The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy meets Clash of the Titans, and probably in between some slices of pita, you’ll find Gyro and the Argonauts!

Everyone’s favorite hero named after a sandwich is back—and the stakes (and snakes) have never been higher! From New York Times bestselling author Joshua Pruett (Last Comics on Earth and Phineas and Ferb), this laugh-out-loud, heart-filled adventure is perfect for fans of myths, monsters, and mildly questionable life choices. It’s classic Greek mythology . . . but funnier!What happens after the heroes save the day? Who moves the defeated villain’s former statue out of the coliseum? Does anyone feed the flying horse? And, seriously, where did Perseus’s magical armor go?Gyro and his ragtag team of redeemed monsters are about to find out when a new wave of mythological misfits crash the party—and they’re huge fans. Word of Gyro’s monster-saving adventures has spread across ancient Greece, and now everyone wants in. Leading the pack are Medusa’s sisters, Stheno and Euryale, who arrive with enough emotional baggage to sink the Argo, and they have one small request from history’s favorite kid named after a sandwich: give them a shot at redemption.Then Heracles (Hercules’s cousin, but smells way worse) ropes Gyro into a “small” side quest: one-upping her cousin by completing thirteen Labors instead of twelve. You know, like the twelve impossible Labors that Hercules endured in the ancient history books . . . but one better. Math! Now Greek mythology’s most lovable nerd has to juggle monsters, gods, gorgons, and a zombie Perseus (seriously?) on the ultimate mythological road trip, packed with double the laughs, double the danger, and double the family drama. (Because it is a sequel, after all.)But when the chaos reaches mythic proportions, Gyro’s about to learn that sometimes the hardest quest of all . . . is asking for help?!Gyro and the Argonauts: Class of the Titans includes:Hilarious black-and-white illustrationsA pronunciation guide for Greek words (like gyro, pronounced like "yee-roh", not unlike "hero"!)Fun facts about history and mythology and tips for discerning fact from fictionAll new characters joining the cast With bestselling author Joshua Pruett’s trademark razor-sharp wit, snarky narrator, and fast-paced storytelling, plus incredible art by Annie Award–winner Anthony Holden (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) and fan-favorite Amanda Castillo (Mapmakers and the Flickering Fortress), this sequel proves that not all heroes wear togas, and not all strength comes from muscles.
