DIANA AND THE HEROS JOURNEY SC

Grace Ellis (co-creator of the ever-popular Lumberjanes) and artist Penelope Rivera Gaylord (or “Peng-Peng” as she’s known) spin a tale of the early years of Princess Diana of Themyscira (aka Wonder Woman). Over the course of the book via her various Amazonian guardians, Diana is told the story of Hero, the original Greek...well...hero. As her headstrong ways get her into trouble during the preparations for an Amazonian festival, Diana is schooled in what it means to possess the heart of a true hero. It’s lovely stuff, with an abundance of wit and energy, and Gaylord’s art - which adapts styles for the telling of Hero’s tales - is drop-dead gorgeous.
