Heroes of An Other Earth is a dynamic look into another reality, an alternate Earth where larger-than-life super-humans are more than just comic book characters. It's the 1940s, and World War II is raging across the face of the Earth, with the Axis clashing against Allied Forces in Europe, Asia, and Africa. But in this reality, a host of non-human beings have taken a direct hand in human affairs: gods, demigods, demons, and extraterrestrials have lent extraordinary powers to people on both sides of the fight, while twisted criminal geniuses use their intellects to wreak their own kinds of super-powered havoc. Their epic battles are often literally earthshaking-and sometimes cataclysmic. Only the honor and sacrifice of the truly heroic, bravely holding the line against evil, stand between us and the darkness. ***** Return to the Golden Age of mustery heroes on Other Earth, and see the origins of the earliest mystery heroes! Heroes of an Other Earth is a collection of stories about the origins of the greatest mystery heroes on an Earth similar to our own. Includes the heroic origins of Major Power, (the first and greatest mystery hero), the Lambda family, the Stormbirds and Dr. Aeon.

Hiss at the origins of Dr. Disaster, Big Ben and the Occulist. Shudder as you are introduced to the mad scientist Dr. Daytona and the devastating Dr. Boom. And follow the sassy adventures of Lily DeLuna, former left fielder for the South Bend Blue Sox of the AAGPBL, martial artist, pilot, exotic beauty, and soon-to-be rookie reporter for the Marble City Register. Written in a style the recalls the Golden Age of comics, HoaOE includes heroes who know right from wrong, villains who are evil, and civilians who need to stay out of the way.

And, there is more to come!
