Graphic Universe books are intended to bring myths and history to life for young readers aged 9+. The company is based out of Lerner's New York City office in the Empire State Building. Titles from Graphic Universe are worked on by experienced comic professionals who have worked with such companies as Marvel and DC Comics. Initially the group only published the Graphic Myths and Legends series, but later expanded to the Twisted Journeys series.
