Twelve Trials

Zansky’s graphic approach reshapes a classic myth for a contemporary illustrated book release.

This month sees the release of The Twelve Labors of Hercules, illustrated by Zansky and written by Arthur Nestrovski, a playful yet considered retelling of the classic myth.

Illustrated back in 2021, the project now steps into the light, pairing crisp, characterful imagery with a text that keeps ancient gods within easy reach of modern readers.

Working with a limited two-Pantone palette, Zansky distils each labour into bold, graphic moments that feel both timeless and fresh. The result is a book where image and story move in step, opening Greek mythology as a visual gateway for all ages.
