We get a cool flashback to Perseus' miraculous birth in this graphic version of his quest to make Medusa one head shorter.

This novelization of the life of Perseus is great for young readers.

Images

A Failed Chaperone

We wonder if the old creepy nurse in this picture was for or against the whole shower of gold business.

A Happy Chaperone

Hmmm, this old nurse seems totally into it.

No Chaperone at All

See what happens when you leave this girl alone! Well, at least he's a god.

Golden Dreams

She looks happy now, but how cool will she be when she wakes up preggers?

Where's the Gold?

Hmm, looks like this shower's a little skimpy on the gold.

A Seaworthy Chest

Yay, Danae and Perseus made it to shore. A word of advice though: the chests in your house probably don't float that well.
