Content

''The Atlas of the DC Universe'' was designed to serve both as a gaming material for the DC Heroes role-playing game, published by Mayfair, and a standalone "in-universe" reference book for the fans of DC Comics. Many of the cities, such as Metropolis and Star City, were given exact locations on maps provided within the book. Maps of the galaxy, and other important planets within the DC universe are also included.
