MARATHON and HADES Book Launch Party at Bergen St. Comics!

I am so happy to announce the upcoming book launch party and art exhibition for MARATHON and HADES. HADES, in case you didn't already know, is the fourth book in the critically acclaimed Olympians series of graphic novellas by George O'Connor. Marathon is my latest book with writer, Boaz Yakin. As you can see from the poster above, the event goes down June 22nd at 8pm at Brooklyn's finest comic shop, Bergen Street Comics! There will be a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available as well. This is likely to be the only event celebrating MARATHON's release, so please come out and help me celebrate the culmination of a long and endurance-testing book.

Praise for Marathon:

Booklist, Starred Review, 4/15 “A finely tempered forge of heroism and exhaustion, history and adrenaline.”

Kirkus, Starred Review, 5/1 “Marathon gets righteous due – and so does its greatest hero.”

Broken Frontier, 4/19 "…dramatic, engrossing…"

Tonight! Celebrate the Act-i-vate Primer at Bergen Street Comics!
