Marvel Comics: Hercules Prince Of Power #1

When Hercules was first introduced in Marvel Comics he was considered a second string Thor.  He was loud, boisterous and tended to fly off the handle when provoked.

Since that time he has become a major player in the Marvel Universe-even becoming an Avenger.

Who ever thought that a muscle-bound, oaf of a god could have such a sense of humor and be so human?

Artist/writer Bob Layton tells a tale of the Prince of Power-Hercules’ funny and fantastic foray in a 4-part mini-series.

The rambunctious, rowdy and sometimes rude Hercules finally returns to Mount Olympus after being exiled to earth by his father Zeus.

No sooner does he get their than his pride, talent for causing a ruckus and loud and rowdy manner manage to get him exiled one again, only this time to outerspace.

Hercules takes his chariot drawn by flying horses and departs and then the fun begins.

The Hercules Prince Of Power mini-series really helped define Hercules, his mannerisms, his strengths and weaknesses and most of all his spirit.

The series includes lots of outer space action, fights, fisticuffs romance and an unexpected confrontation.

For fans of Hercules this is the ultimate tale of the Prince of Power and enjoyable romp with the muscle-bound and roughhousing Hercules as he bestows his ‘gift’ on friend and foe alike.
