Defending the Earth: A Max Axiom Super Scientist Adventure

by Carol Kim, Daniel Pedrosa (Illustrator)

Overview

Earth is bombarded every day by objects from space. Most of the time they’re harmless. But occasionally much larger objects come along that pose a real threat. If a large asteroid or comet hit Earth, it could change life as we know it. Is there a way to stop these threats before it’s too late? In this nonfiction graphic novel, Max Axiom and the Society of Super Scientists go on a fact-finding mission to learn about Near-Earth Objects and discover methods that scientists are developing to defend our planet.

Daniel Pedrosa was born in Araraquara, a quiet town in the interior of São Paulo/Brazil and since he was a child he has always had artistic, philosophical and esoteric inclinations.
At the age of ten, his older brother gave him his first superhero comic (a Superboy edition from the 90's) and there he decided that drawing comics would be his profession. In 2010 he began his professional career doing comic strips for newspapers and drawing children's supplements for tabloids and magazines. Since then, his career began to expand and today the artist has publications for Criptozoik, Tildawave, Capstone, 137 Studios and produces advertising material for the largest Honda Motors store in Brazil.
