![]() ![]() ![]() George O’Connor: More like I hoped for a twelve year commitment! On the earliest pieces of artwork related to Olympians (some ideas for cover sketches I drew way back in 2008) I‘d already written “Book One of Twelve” on them. And to my infinite delight, I was able to talk to George, not simply about rounding out this epic but also about the way the series has grown and changed over the years. Who then could have predicted that it would take O’Connor until 2022 to finish this epic twelve book series? I certainly couldn’t have put a date on its ending, but I can tell you one thing: With today’s release of Dionysos: A New God, we’re seeing not just the end of a series, but an end of an era. And as each subsequent chapter in O’Connor’s Olympians series was released I gobbled it up hungrily, god by god. When Zeus: King of the Gods was released on January 5, 2010, I was there, man. But what I can state with pride is that I was into the George O’Connor Olympians series from day one, and I think that counts for something. ![]() Can’t really account for who, amongst you, might count themselves as a true scholar of Greek mythology. I was into the Greek gods before you were. ![]()
