It was the foundation of one of the greatest and most prevailing global peace efforts of the 20th century. It was the greatest feat--and the tragic death--of a man whose legacy will never be forgotten. In 490BC, an Athenian messenger named Eucles ran 153 miles from Sparta to Athens, and in so doing preserved ancient Greek civilization from subjugation to the Persian Empire. This graphic novel from screenwriter Boaz Yakin and artist Joe Infurnari tells his story.
