From the publisher

In Gem Forest there’s no stronger elf than John Henry. With a single swing of his hammer, he can carve out a perfect mining tunnel. So when a sales-gnome says he has a machine that digs better than any miner, John Henry is ready to prove him wrong. But as the contest begins, the device shakes the mountain–and awakens a nest of vicious orcs! Can John Henry defeat the creatures and the gnome’s contraption? In this Far Out Folktale, the legend of America’s famous hammerin’ hero gets twisted about to create an exciting graphic novel adventure for kids!
