The Atlas of the DC Universe by Paul Kupperberg was published in 1990 by Mayfair Games as a supplement to its DC Heroes role-playing game. It includes maps and information about locations in the DC Universe; for example, it places Metropolis in Delaware and Gotham City in New Jersey.[1]
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.[2]
Maps of the galaxy, and other important planets within the DC universe are also included.[3]
Reception
Gene Alloway reviewed The Atlas of the DC Universe in White Wolf #31 (May/June, 1992), rating it a 3 out of 5 and stated that "The Atlas is a good product, despite some areas that might need some added information. The layout is straightforward, clear, and not flashy, but sufficient. I recommend this one highly for the one-stop shopping for geography it offers alone."[4]
