• The Iliad - Collects #1-8. "A tale of war between the Achaeans (Greeks) and the besieged Trojans over the fate of Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world... a test of wills between the fabled warrior Achilles and the war chief Agamemnon... with a climactic battle between Achilles and Hector, the foremost defender of Troy. A saga of gods and men, each possessed of grand desires... and all too human failings." - WorldCat - ISBN 0785111549

Hardcovers

• Marvel Illustrated: The Iliad - Collects #1-8. "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 vs. 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." - WorldCat - ISBN 0785123830
