Atlas #1

Aug 2002 · Avatar Press · 3.50 USD

In Atlas #1, the celestial giant Atlas—tired of holding up the sky—descends to Earth seeking excitement, only to bungle his way through superheroics. With the Muse’s advice, he takes a security job with Frederick Keller, where a careless moment knocks over a statue, unwittingly freeing Judo Girl after three decades. As Atlas and the newly awakened warrior flee Keller’s forces, they’re ambushed by Wonderboy in a cliffhanger that sets the stage for chaos. Written by Darren G. Davis and illustrated by Mark Brooks, with inks by Clayton Brown and colors by Blond, the cover by Christian Gossett and Mark Brooks captures the mythic clash of gods and heroes.
