Publisher's Description of Greek Myths: Jason and the Argonauts (Usborne Graphic Legends)
Young Jason has been set a seemingly impossible task — to retrieve the legendary Golden Fleece from the clutches of a deadly, fire-breathing dragon. But many dangers stand between him and his goal. Ravenous harpies, clashing rocks, and six-armed giants are just some of the perils he must face if he is to reach the prize and reclaim his kingdom. The timeless Greek legend is adapted with dynamic style in this action-packed graphic adventure.
