4-6Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.
Adapted by Robert Venditti.
Illustrated by
Attila Futaki.
Two of Percy Jackson's early adventures--questing for the Golden Fleece to renew Camp Half-Blood's protections, saving Annabeth from holding up the world in Atlas's stead--are turned into polished graphic novels with charismatic illustrations. Somewhat visually indistinguishable characters and a few overbroad narrative leaps cause periodic confusion, but the format makes the most of dynamic settings and thrilling monster battles. Review covers these Percy Jackson and the Olympians titles: The Sea of Monsters and The Titan's Curse
