"After tackling the planets, Atlas is now taking a tour of the earth in this new book for all ages. Commanding the Titans in their war against the Olympians, Atlas was forced to hold up the heavens on his shoulders. His life was a tragic story of a lone God fighting boredom on Mount Olympus. However, monitoring the earth from above, Atlas watched Earth change and the emergence of super powered beings donning capes and tights. Growing restless and craving adventure, Atlas decided to take the world in his hands and become one of the Earth's newest heroes."--Page 4 of cover
