Mark Millar and Frank Quitely's comic-book masterpiece, Jupiter's Legacy Library Edition Volume 1, is a vast epic covering three generations of superheroes from the early 20th Century to the far future.

In 1929, six friends were called to a mysterious island and returned home with super-powers. The story that unfolded is like none before, a huge mythological tale that explores everything from superheroes enforcing their real-world politics on humanity to the secret, alien origins of the human race itself. Jupiter's Legacy covers three generations of heroes in a vast trilogy that has been described as The Lord of the Rings for superheroes. Featuring stunning art and designs from co-creator Frank Quitely and interior art by Wilfredo Torres.

A sales smash when originally released, this series was also adapted into a huge $100 million adaptation for Netflix. Every once in a while, there's a defining superhero project from Dark Knight to Watchmen to The Ultimates and The Authority and Jupiter's Legacy belongs in this milieu. Millar has described it as the best work of his entire career and this first volume is a Hollywood Babylon for the superheroes of the Golden Age.

For mature audiences.

Collects Jupiter's Legacy (2020) 1 and 2.
