The One Hundred Nights of Hero

Wow! A fantastic graphic novel even better than Greenberg's first outing “The Encyclopedia of Early Earth.” A simple “framing” story surrounds multiple tales all celebrating the beauty and intertwined power of love and story-telling. Cherry, an unhappy young adult bride, falls in love with her maid - Hero. To resist the advances of a lecherous older man, who has bet he can seduce Cherry within 100 nights, Hero tells fantastical, multi-layered tales to the man and Cherry which distract him from his lustful intentions. Simple, yet beautiful art, and often humorous text, weaves these creative, woman-empowering tales into memorable and inspiring stories. Worthy of reading again and again.
