81 GOTW: The Asgardians - George O'Connor

Gifts of the Wyrd

"Welcome to the Nine Worlds, home of Gods, Valkyries, Dwarves, and more!" promises MacMillan Publishsers about the latest series by my guest; author and artist George O'Connor. George created the 12 volume series The Olympians and just released Thor in October 2024, the second book of his series The Asgardians.

The first volume of The Asgardians series, Odin, was released in March 2024.

We talk about his process for bringing the myths of these two popular pantheons as illustrated storytelling. It was a fun and interesting discussion to hear about George's interest with the Norse stories and how they have been a part of his life for so long and still inspiring ways to be told. And it's always nice to get a behind the scenes scoop on how ideas come about, the creative process, and other bits of writing and drawing a graphic novel about such interesting characters and adventures.

Both series' can be ordered through your local book store. Find out more about George's works at MacMillan Publishers.
