Hercules: The Legendary Journeys

    (Topps, 1996)
™ and ©1995 MCA/Universal Merchandising

Kevin Sorbo starred in the tremendously popular television series from which this comic is adapted. Hercules: The Legendary journeys is a successful blending of classical Greek myths and legends with the humor and action that modern viewers expect of an adventure series. The well-developed Sorbo specializes at keeping things light while still appearing larger than life.

In this comic series, Hercules rescues Prometheus from his eternal torment, stands trial for his life in front of his father Zeus and the Furies, and even does battle against Ares, the god of war himself. Issue #3 introduces Xena: Warrior Princess, the swordswoman star of a television series that ran back-to-back with Hercules and was just as big a hit. Throughout the series, self-appointed biographer Salmoneus provides comic moments as he alternately follows Hercules around like a puppy dog and tries to take credit for Hercules’ great feats.
