Get ready for GIANT laughs with Tiny Hercules! Perfect for fans of Bunny vs Monkey and Dogman, Tiny Hercules is the hilarious debut full colour children's graphic novel from co-creators Jon Lock and Nich Angell.
'This was a blast! That Tiny Herc packs a powerful, and hysterical, punch' – John Patrick Green, creator of InvestiGators
He’s brave! He’s strong! He’s the size of a jam jar! He’s Tiny Hercules, the world’s tiniest hero – and he’s winning his way back to Tiny Olympus, one legendary deed at a time!
Tiny Hercules has been banished to Earth as a punishment for ruining Tiny Zeus's bodacious party. To get home he must complete twelve legendary tasks but it isn't going to be easy – even for a demigod. Crash landing in the peaceful town of Chutney-on-Toast, Tiny Hercules soon spots his first defeating a lion! (or maybe it's a cat!)
All hell breaks loose in this zany comic book adventure!

I really enjoyed this book! It’s not something I would usually read, but I thought it was absolutely hilarious and I couldn’t put it down!
Tiny Hercules has (rather unfortunately) been kicked out of Tiny Olympus and banished to The Land of the Titans after crashing Tiny Zeus’ absolutely amazingly mythical party! The only way he can go back is by completing 12 legendary quests, which seems quite easy for a really cool and strong dude like Tiny Hercules. However, with lots of huge things and a suspiciously swan-like Zeus, will Tiny Hercules complete his first mission?
I really enjoyed this graphic novel! It was SO funny, and the illustrations were really cute and tiny! I loved the characters, as each one brought a little more magic and comedy to the story, even the background ones! This book has left me thirsty for more, and I absolutely CANNOT wait for the second one to come out!!!

Tiny Olympus, where it's cool to be Tiny.
Tiny Hercules upsets Tiny Zeus and is punished.
Sending him to Earth Tiny Hercules must pass 12 tests to be allowed back. This is book one in super funny series. Lots of puns and funny moments that I took a few pictures of as rather amusing.
Sure to be a hit with comic readers of Bunny Vs Monkey and Dog Man, also a nice break from all the chapter reading at junior school. Sure to be read over and over can't wait for the next book.

I read this with my 7 year old cousin and we were crying with laughter! The comic timing (pun intended) was perfect. The storyline and characters were engaging and kept the pages turning. Great for bedtime or just reading for fun.
Tiny Hercules is perfect for fans of Jamie Smart and John Patrick Green. I can’t recommend it enough and so look forward to getting it into the hands of young readers!
Thank you Pan Macmillan for the proof copy.

This was loads of fun! Properly made me chuckle. Tiny Hercules is banished to earth by Zeus, and he has to begin his labours. But all is not as he expected. This will go down so well in my classroom! This is perfect for fans of Investigators!

Very good, I like it where Zeus turns into a swan and pretends to be a real swan and how tiny Hercules thinks punching solves everything. It is really funny and when the second one is released i am going to read it definitely.
