Synopsis

These 22 all-new tales pay tribute to the true heroes—the people who enable and put up with heroes. From what itÂ's like to be HerculesÂ' wife )complete with an appearance by Hercules in drag) to the trials of H.P. LovecraftÂ's housekeeper, from the perils of being King KongÂ's girlfriend to the downside of dating a shapeshifter, this anthology turns heroism on its head, revealing the behind-the-scenes drama, as opposed to glorious rescues. From the Pied PiperÂ's power trip to David acting like a giant you-know-what after slaying Goliath, these stories show heroes in all their ignominy and shine a light on the unsung faithful standing in their shadows.
