Description: A signed bookplate 1st edition (which was sold out on pre-orders ahead of release) of this book version of the award-winning webcomic from New Zealand artist Rachel Smythe, bringing up to date the ancient Greek myth of the relationship between Hades, King of the Underworld, and Persephone, Goddess of Spring and the daughter of Zeus. This series has had 100's of millions of views on Webtoon and a TV series is evidently in development involving the Jim Henson Company. 'Lore Olympus ' published by Del Rey, London on 2 November 2021, 1st edition/1st impression, large modern hardback, unpaginated (c. 384 pages). Flat hand signed by Rachel Smythe to a special bookplate affixed to the front endpaper. In fine unread condition, illustrated boards, no dustjacket as issued, light wear at gutter ends. Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love - witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of mythology's best-known stories. Persephone, young goddess of spring, is new to Olympus. Her mother, Demeter, has raised her in the mortal realm, but after Persephone promises to train as a sacred virgin, she's allowed to live in the fast-moving, glamorous world of the gods. When her roommate, Artemis, takes her to a party, her entire life changes: she ends up meeting Hades and feels an immediate spark with the charming yet misunderstood ruler of the Underworld. Now Persephone must navigate the confusing politics and relationships that rule Olympus, while also figuring out her own place - and her own power. This edition of Smythe's original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story, and brings the Greek pantheon into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. This volume collects episodes 1-25 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus. Estimated non-UK postage costs by signed for airmail delivery - Europe £16, Canada/Japan £29, Aus/NZ £33, US £36.
