When Brandon Terrell was a boy, he was tall and skinny and looked nothing like Hercules. But he was a big fan of comic books and superheroes. Hercules was always at the top of that list right next to Spider-Man, of course. Brandon never faced serpents with a hundred heads or had the proportionate strength of a spider. He did, however, enjoy writing stories about amazing heroes and incredible adventures. He was the author of numerous books, including chapter books, picture books, and graphic novels. Brandon lived in Minnesota's Twin Cities with his family.
