Iliad

One of the true cornerstones of Western literature comes to the Marvel Illustrated line! The ancient world is embroiled in a mighty clash of armies; Greek versus Trojan. Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, has betrayed her husband, the Greek, Menelaus, and fled to Troy with Trojan prince, Paris. The Greeks have sailed to Troy to bring her back…and crush all that stand in their way. This is the first chapter in the saga that virtually defines the word epic. It is a tale of gods and men…heroism and betrayal. From the lips of Homer to the pages of Marvel Illustrated. And we did it just for you!

The two greatest armies of the ancient world greek and trojan meet on the plains of troy…with the achingly beautiful helen as the prize! And as this battle-to-the-end-them-all rages, the gods themselves enter the fray!
