Yeah, I could have gotten the SparkNotes or Cliff's Notes but recall this series, then called, "Classic Comics" from my childhood, so I decided to get it. It's way too expensive but it feels like an acceptable splurge. I got what I wanted: an easy-to-understand summary, including illustrations, of the Odyssey, and a useful discussion of it at the end of the book. Review: Great for children! - Good for children’s exposure to the Classics.

One of the best in a great series
I read these classics comics as a kid and it is wonderful to see them available again. Beautifully illustrated and they still cover all the essential details. I wish they would issue these for Kindle as well.

Great version of a classic
My 10-year-old son and I enjoy reading this both together and separately. We love the full text version of the Odyssey, but it is also nice to read a graphic novel that does justice to this epic tale.
