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 on his journey to become a hero (pronounced yee-roh, like gyro), where he grows to confront hard truths, like taking back your narrative and finding yourself.

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!

"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
