Publisher's Notes
Here is the incomparable cast of the DC Comics universe: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, the Green Lantern, and the rest of the Justice League as you’ve never seen them before. Mythology brings together the best-loved comic characters in the world, brought to life by one of the most astonishing young artists working in the medium today, Alex Ross. The award-winning designer/writer Chip Kidd and photographer Geoff Spear have teamed up to create a book like no other, with an introduction by M. Night Shyamalan, the acclaimed director of Signs and The Sixth Sense.
Ross has often been called “the Norman Rockwell of comics,” and this book reveals not only his lifelong love of these classic super heroes but also his vision: Mythology takes you into the studio for a behind-the-scenes look at his fascinating creative process. The combination of Ross’s dynamic art and Kidd’s kinetic design make images from his most memorable stories–including Kingdom Come, Superman: Peace on Earth, Batman: War on Crime, and Uncle Sam–soar off the more than 280 pages. There are also hundreds of never-before-seen sketches, limited edition prints, and prototype sculptures. Vintage DC comic panels are interspersed throughout, as reference points from which Ross launches his extraordinary interpretations.
And most exciting for Ross fans, inside is a DC Comics first: an exclusive, original Superman-Batman story, written by Kidd and painted by Ross. Also included is an all-new origin of Robin, written by Paul Dini. Mythology is a book in which every page explodes with the power of the icons it celebrates.

Three Fearful Days
by
The 1906 earthquake shook San Francisco for sixty seconds and ignited fires that raged for three days, killing more than 3,000 people and destroying 500 city blocks. This final volume of the San Francisco Memoirs trilogy adds a very human side to the holocaust by concentrating on dozens of first-hand accounts by people who endured it. Stories of watching the quake approach and rip open the streets -- fighting the fire from inside the mint -- being trapped in the basement as the City Hall collapsed. Mayor Schmitz tells why he ordered all looters shot, and opera singer Caruso tells his own version of his escape. A fascinating blend of tragedy laced with humor. Many accounts not published in other books.
