The shape of this universe.
Tiny Hercules is Jon Lock and Nich Angell's gleefully daft full-colour comic-book series about the world's tiniest, mightiest hero. Banished from Tiny Olympus for ruining one too many of Tiny Zeus's legendary parties, the pocket-sized strongman must complete twelve epic tasks to earn his way home — a mission that spells non-stop trouble for a regular kid and the residents of Chutney-on-Toast. Fast, funny and packed with slapstick, silly gags and bright, energetic panels, the series serves Greek myth with maximum nonsense. It is a reliable hook for reluctant readers who prefer their stories loud and illustrated, and a natural fit for fans of Bunny vs Monkey and Dog Man.
A gleefully daft full-colour comic series about the world's tiniest, mightiest hero completing twelve epic tasks — big laughs and non-stop action for Dog Man fans.
